SwagSloth Punishment

[jaskins811]

I think he’s a great guy and all, but this is fair punishment for how serious of an offense it could be, whether or not he comes forward on his own.

When you say "it could be", what are you saying? I don't think punishments should be handed out on "what could be", they should be dished out on what is.

The act of creating a multi shows that he had the thought and having a player with the capability SwagSloth had could be really detrimental to the league. The fact that this was even attempted to happen shows poor judgement from him even if I like him as a person.

Someone told me that I may still have the ability to comment on this thread. This will be the last post I make before observing my 2-week ban. I hope that the mods will allow it to stay.

As others have said, I did approach HO & inform them of what I did. The message made available on the first page was unsolicited and I came forward on my own. I appreciate the transparency with which that was handled.

Admittedly, I have been curious about the multi thing for a while. I'm fully aware that it's against the rules, but something about it seemed intriguing. I wasn't doing it to spy on other teams or give my team an advantage, though admittedly those are both unintended outcomes and good reasons why it is against the rules. On Wednesday, I was just bored and finally said "what the hell, let's make one". And then about an hour later, I completely regretted it. Sometimes, you're curious about things and have to try them to realize they're not for you. Late Thursday night, I made the decision to approach HO and try to put this behind me. The idea that I might get caught down the road and severely damage my reputation wasn't worth it in hindsight. I've worked for over a year to build a good reputation here and this is a blight on that. I hope that my decision to come forward will count for something in the long run.

I fully stand by the decision of HO and am not appealing. Multis are a serious issue and I expected a serious punishment when I went to HO. This allows me to make amends and I'm satisfied with my decision to come forward. I regret making the mutli obviously, but all I can do at this point is apologize and carry myself in an ethical manner when I return. I have apologized to my GM and teammates already. I also want to apologize to the rest of the league. Admittedly, this was a calculated decision, but one that I fortunately came to regret before it did any lasting harm.

I understand that. However you dont punish on "possibilities" or "capability". You punish on what happened. In this situation he created one, didn't do anything with it and admitted to it rather quickly. To me thats a sign of good faith from someone who knew it was wrong. Rather harsh

Mods are nazis confirmed















Jk yall are doing what you think is right I know HO is a ton of work keep it up y'all????

That's one way to get people to stop asking you to do League jobs.

In all seriousness though the punishment is harsh but hopefully this reminds others going forward that multis are a serious offense that the current HO will not fuck around with. Two of the five current members of HO have heard unceasing flask about multis for the past calendar year from pretty much everyone and they clearly took the feelings of the league into consideration on this topic.
