I oppose. Punishment is not necessary for newbies who probably never read the rules/known in the first place that they couldn't vote. A polite "Hey bud, you haven't been here for a week and have 50 edits, so you can't vote yet. This is only to ensure that nobody is sockpuppeting." would be okay. And maybe a breif explanation of what sockpuppeting is (if they don't know what it is).`
