I voiced my extreme displeasure to HO regarding the handling of this situation in the hopes that things would improve, but considering it took over a week between my being informed of the punishment and this post (and over a week between them knowing of the infraction and actually informing me of it), I'm sadly not super convinced that things will improve. I have my hopes, but that's about all I can do.

I did appeal the decision. In fact, I appealed the decision hours after I was informed and long before this post was made, unfortunately HO and Ownership felt that handing down the punishment was more important than keeping the stability of the franchise with a new leadership change, and the situation that lead to that.

I will accept the punishment, but I'm not happy about it. HO needs to get their shit together on things if this is the sort of league they are running.

HO does need to get their shit together. This and other things that will be coming are solely on them not actually doing anything in a timely manner.

I believe that we found this literally at the start of the playoffs based off my file download history (playoff 1 file) and as far as I know HO was informed about it privately at that time. The fact this is coming out now is absurd.

The punishment sucks and I get that part, but the worst part is that this comes out after a full playoff, and elongated offseason, during which time you had to assume you would be punished with nothing set in stone.
