Would Athena have punished Arachne if Arachnes tapestry had glorified the gods?
No; Arachne's crime was boasting herself better then the goddess Athena in the task of weaving. She did not believe that the goddess had "taught her" or given her the gift of weaving; all talents are god given to the ancient Greeks. She wanted to have contest with Athena - and when Athena in the form of a old matron warned against it, indeed would have forgiven her if she had given the goddess her due respect - Arachne forced Athena to act. She further slighted the gods by making her tapestry a mocking of them.

What were Poseidon crimes?
Poseidon's most know crime was sleeping with Medusa in Athena's temple, this enraged Athena and then turned Medusa into a horrible beast that if you looked into her eyes you turned to stone, snakes as hair and instead of legs she had a snake tail. In doing this Athena was making sure no one would ever look at medusa again.
Did Athena commit any crimes?
Well, as far as I can remember, she committed two or three major crimes, firstly she accidentally murdered Pallas the daughter of Triton and the granddaughter of her uncle Poseidon, then along with Hera and Aphrodite she kind of started the Trojan war which killed thousands and finally, it's not really a crime but it's certainly unfair, she cursed Medusa for getting raped in her temple so she wasn't the best of goddesses...
