*Carmel Gibson has spent too much TPE

[37thchamber]

It's hard to see such a sizable mistake just slipping by everyone involved with the team.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it appears as though that is exactly what happened, though. Meaning the solution is to put tighter controls and checks in place to prevent it happening again.

Why is there any call to "punish" anyone? It makes no sense. There's nobody to punish.

If there was some suggestion that it was a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules, or unfairly benefit a team then sure, there should be a punishment... But that's not the case here as far as I can see.

To add to what the others said, there is also a huge benefit for the Hawks even if it was an error. That doesn't change the fact that a player played for 11 weeks, 5 of which he ended up in the team of the week, so clearly he helped the team win and that is irreversible now.

Yeah, the Hawks benefited, nobody is denying that... but unless you're saying we should re-sim the entire season so far (lol) there's nothing we can do about that. Any other action against the Hawks would be to punish them for something outside their control... Which is, frankly, bullshit.

I do not think the team should be punished unless there is definitive proof that they were involved in this (which I strongly doubt is the case).  It would set a crazy precedent where the team is responsible to check all of their players update pages prior to Saturday updates to make sure no one slipped in some extra TPE.  Even Paul said he accidentally slipped 2 TPE into an update, should the Liberty be punished for that too?

This is the point I'm trying to make.
