So yell at madaxe_again for publishing proprietary stuff, not plagiarism.
The internal justice system made two errors, not zero. That's never okay, especially if it claims to be errorless ( shawn-furyan put it better than I did)
Would you be okay with getting a fine in the mail for having done something that is logically impossible to do (such as plagiarizing from yourself), regardless if you had to pay a different fine for a different issue or not?
EDIT: I can't answer to the post below, for some reason, thanks for the correction on self plagiarism!

In the interest of accuracy: it is possible to plagiarize yourself.

It wasn't against any regulation in 2002 - but I suppose you think I deserved this because... What, I should have known that in the future it'd be against the rules? Cool logic man. Report yourself for punishment, being called Dan might be against the rules one day.
Students are not allowed to post the work that they do to the Internet. madaxe_again did post the work they did to the Internet. They were incorrectly punished for plagiarism - it was their own work - but they could have been punished for posting homework to the Internet.
