Since I keep getting PM'D about "F HO" I figured I'd post at least one more time.
I'm not mad at HO at all, and I don't really think that this punishment was really their decision anyway? I'm also honestly not mad about the appeal ruling either.
I absolutely broke a rule that was spelled out in the rule book and some form of punishment is appropriate. In a vacuum I do not think a 143 TPE loss (which is pretty freaking severe) is fitting of the violation. Working in this "vacuum" I think such a large TPE fine is far too harsh when you consider the punishments for things like creating a bunch of multis (I think a 1 season suspension resulted in less TPE loss, at the very least it wasn't TPE being taken away because I didn't have to do anything during that time) or editing TPE claim threads were both less.
I think the punishments for those other two referenced offenses that had a much more advantageous results for their users and larger impacts on the league should be punished more harshly than not updating/hitting contract minimums. Much of the time I was over the contract threshold I had not applied any of that TPE and nobody was befitting from some sort of discount (I honestly have no idea when I went over the 800 TPE and how much money SJ "saved" from all of this, was it just $1,000,000 this season?).
I realize that most of what I said is written pretty....unclearly, but hopefully my point gets through. In the end, I think some form of adjustment to the rule should be made to include a max TPE amount, or some consideration allowed for intent (I.E. if somebody accepts a contract and immediately updates and it is clearly circumvention a hefty punishment may be appropriate). I don't have a great solution to the wording of that rule, but I think you guys can figure something out. It would be unfortunate for somebody who has more concern for their player/TPE than me to do seasonal updates or something and get slapped with another big TPE fine like this for being a bit more casual of a user.
Out of the "vacuum," on a personal level I cannot really complain about the fairness of punishments. I got a pretty lenient punishment in the past and I am alright chalking this up to a "make-up call." Though I'm sure those involved may not outright see it that way.
In the end, I'm glad my team wasn't punished twice. They already drafted me and I had been lazy about updating to help the team which was punishment enough. I hope the HO/GMs/Puppetmasters/Whoever else makes rules here considers making some change this rule so other casual updaters (@Sweetwater you better keep taking those big $ contracts) don't get a massive penalty for what should probably be a slap on the wrist.
