However, you would achieve nothing by pointing out this inconsistency - you'd likely face even worse sanctions as ThoBjo is a rookie admin and therefore prone to power-tripping. He is also a premover and clock player. I would suggest applying for a new computer account (trying to get the old one unlocked is just not worth the hassle) and specifying "Advanced Chess Player" as the engine type. This way you could change engines even during the game, and you could also mix human moves with the engine's. For example, Qualm is doing this with his QualmBot. I would also strongly suggest joining the CCO in order to obtain more information about Advanced Chess. With compliments, S. Milosevic, the President of CCO
