I'll add that I also received a warning. Here is my log of the interaction.
Code:
A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you. The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Coase is standing in its place.

Coase says, "Hello."
>
Coase says, "I'm sorry for the wait."
>'Hello
You say, "Hello."
>
Coase says, "Unfortunately, I've pulled you up to talk to you regarding a matter of game mechanics abuse."."
>
Coase says, "Http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Help%20for%20Players/Policy%20Discussions/view."
>
Coase says, "In summary, there was a bug that existed in the enchanting system that was introduced a few months ago and was correct in the last week or two."
>
Coase says, "It allowed for the enchanting of materials that should not be allowed be enchanted, to be enchanted with zero difficulty instead."
>
Coase says, "It was fixed and we did a search of items that might have been affected."
>
Coase says, "And we discovered that you were involved in multiple enchantments of these items."
>'Multiple?
You ask, "Multiple?"
>
* Nitewisper is dust in the wind!
>
Coase says, "A coraesine tetsubo and a krodera falchion."
>
Coase says, "We also, unfortunately, discovered evidence that that you were aware that this was a bug, discussed it with others, did not report it, and continued to abuse it."
>'I thought it was just a krodera weapon in name, not a real one
You say, "I thought it was just a krodera weapon in name, not a real one."
>'Isn't it just a whatever X enchant weapon?
You ask, "Isn't it just a whatever X enchant weapon?"
>
Coase says, "No, it wasn't."
>
Coase says, "I will be issuing you a warning for Game Mechanics Abuse."
>
Coase says, "No lockout is being assessed, due to recent good behavior."
>
Coase says, "All enchanted items affected by this are being reset back to their initial enchantment statistics."
