MVPs express their opinions just like anyone else. They have no special powers. I do enjoy reading the various conspiracy theories though. Some are wilder than others.

If you faced a timeout for something you said you should have gotten an email to highlight the post and what rule you broke. If you are unfamiliar with the rules you can read the forum rules and code of conduct here:-
