Faded's Predictions Punishment

[AdamS]

The punishment feels virtually nonexistent.

Remove the TPE that was stolen, a tiny fine made even smaller by existing pay. No job punishment. No time out of any kind.

No accountability for league management.

I've worked hard not to criticize league management these last few months but holy fuck gang.

I'm getting a vasectomy this year. I'm not using my balls and I will nvite HO to borrow them for big decisions.

No accountability for league management? Elaborate on that one please. The kid got removed immediately from HO, a position he's held for a number of seasons now. What else would you have done? Fine all the other HO members for... What? Not catching this sooner?

Yes, people messed up by not removing his permissions. Things fall through the cracks. It happens. It's life. 

What would you have done in this situation? Completely nuke Faded from the league as well as dismantle the entire stream and sim teams for their oversight? Shit, might as well blow up the entire PT team and the casino for not catching suspicious behavior sooner, too.

Without spiraling out into people I never mentioned on things I never suggested for whatever purposes you were doing so......you can start with a ban on league jobs for the guilty party for at least some time. Multiple seasons at minimum. Perhaps even a league ban for a short time, like a season. Like you'd do with say...a totally inactive multi user who didn't even cross over his players. If they can muster a 1 season ban and job restrictions for someone who isn't even here, surely they can do such for someone who literally cheated for TPE.

Beyond actually being a member of upper management it actually should have constituted more because the level of expectation and responsibility is higher. That's the price of power. The league has had ZERO problem handing out job restrictions and site bans of varying length for a wide variety of offenses. INCLUDING the rule break most closely aligned with this one.

There was absolutely no reason to not follow suit here. None. Especially given the incredibly meager removal of only the ill gotten TPE and the basically non existent fine. That would be a loss of TPE that is only 6 more than what a player lost on a contract technicality not long ago and a fine so small that the half of the season's job pay he was allowed to keep nearly pays for it.

This was an absolutely terrible punishment after one of the biggest infractions in league history. Every punishment is a precedent to what comes next in addition to being the result of the actions of the guilty. Double when its someone that high up in the power structure. If people who are NOT in power are getting hit with all manner of punishments and an HO member isn't...that's a problem. One of several problems depending, and none of them good.

So yes....this was a case of a lack of accountability for league management. A firing and having to give back the stolen TPE is a starting line. Not a punishment.
