There is such a thing as "too serious", but I think any good mod/admin needs to take their duties seriously in order to carry them out effectively. You are still one of the kindest and most helpful admins around; just because you've become more strict doesn't change that fact. If anything, this change was necessary, and the fact that you underwent it goes to show that you are more than fit for the position.
