@retrospace111 has appealed a punishment received from HO, found here. The appeals committee (myself, @iamslm22, @bovovovo, @Bzerkap, @Bwestfield, @manicmav36, and @`Laser`) reviewed evidence from HO and from retrospace, and have decided unanimously to uphold the punishment given by HO.
While the committee agrees that the comment in question could have been intended as a joke, it is easy to see how it could be interpreted as more of an invitation. The committee also disagrees that this being a single post, rather than a string of connected comments as found in precedent, is grounds to reduce the punishment.
Any questions regarding this decision may be directed to myself or any other member of the appeals team.
