I don’t dispute that. What I take issue with as a leader is that actions were already taken for these offenses (including the most recent one) and we’re now trying to tack on additional punishments after the fact. The four week ban was justified, a permanent ban would’ve been justified,

Double jeopardy doesn’t exist here. I think a different way to look at this is that a large portion of the community thinks that the decision was too lenient and are speaking up. If the conclusion by the admin team, upon review and reflection, is that they were too lenient and the ban should be extended, why shouldn’t they?

Because it’s not a democracy either. There’s a reason courts take a jury of peers to decide guilt but leave sentencing to the judges. People (as a collective) are biased and stupid. When society let the masses decide punishments, “witches” get burned, people get lynched for accusations because of their skin color.  You’re describing mob rule. History shows that doesn’t work but I’m sure the mobs on dinklebergs are more level headed than that ?

well they didn’t have screenshots during the Salem witch trials, but we do have proof of Hong calling Hoy a baby, so… what’s your point?

i also enjoy the irony of complaining about a mass group of people making “wrongful” accusations when Hong was directly involved in doing this. Unfortunately your arguments against 1984 go for all sides, even your friends.
