As far as the future goes, do you believe that HO and other relevant bodies surrounding punishments will converse more with the accused parties in order to better work out the context surrounding situations and devise more widely agreed upon punishments?

This has always been hotly contested. Having done it the current way in the past i think there should be more conversations going back and forth in punishments. There is a large difference in the strength of appeals to punishments some of which has to do with age and education background which i think is unfair to younger users, and conversations can limit the gap that might exist not only due to background but also other aspects.

I will say from my perspective, sometime HO feels a lot of pressure to get punishments out quickly, knowing our appeals team is really strong. Was that the case here, I don't know I'm not there any more, but it can be seen as let's work off what we have then dial back a punishment if needed. Which might not always be the best approach.

Punishments for what it's worth were my least fav part of Head Office, so I know that it's never an easy decision being made. Well 99% of the time it's not.
