Kyamprac Player Progression Head Removal

[slate]

I appreciate the good memes and all, but from every indication I've had from people in HO that I've talked to over the past ~24 hours it would be more accurate to write:

HO: "Are we out of touch?"
HO: "Yes, we should improve how we handle things like this moving forward."

Not to put words into HO's mouth or anything, but I feel like there's a lot of backlash against HO for not responding to the backlash properly when IMO they haven't even had time to begin responding in a manner that people would find sufficient. Not to mention that they now have to quickly turn around and process job applications for a variety of league-important jobs. From my perspective, we've had several people from HO participating in this thread and throughout league Discord servers and management channels thoughtfully responding with the thought process that went into this decision, as well as listening to feedback on what the groups you list in the meme would have liked to see happen differently. So I can't agree with this line of criticism.

As for the initial drama itself, even though I like to think I would have made a different decision if I were in HO's situation, I can still understand the thinking that led to such a harsh punishment being imposed and I find the arguments of it being motivated by malicious bias or other nefarious purposes unconvincing (much like many people in this thread are finding the evidence that Kya was acting with malicious bias unconvincing!). I think it is healthy and correct for people to criticize the decision made here and especially the way in which it was presented to the general userbase. At the same time, I fail to see this as the start or continuation of any patterns that would make me worry for the survival of the league. Again, in part based on my interactions with HO members since this thread was posted, I have genuine faith that HO is taking the response to this to heart.

For these reasons, if I actually have the opportunity to participate in this supposed vote of no confidence (which I hope DSFL GMs would be able to participate in), I would be overwhelmingly likely to give a vote of... yes confidence? Whatever the opposite of a vote of no confidence is called.
