I'm usually pretty much on HO's side in most cases, but I think this is a big misstep. If players were awarded TPE despite submitting after the deadline, that's not their fault. That's the fault of whoever is in charge of enforcing the deadline. So, while I sort of agree with the firing, I don't really understand taking TPE away from players as punishment. Yes they submitted late posts, but the real fault here is with whoever awarded them TPE in spite of that.
I think the right move here would have been a firing of responsible parties hefty fines levied against the responsible parties and an announcement that deadlines would be taken more seriously going forward. Like others have said, this is a failure at multiple levels, the least of which is the players themselves; punishing them for that seems unnecessary at best.
EDIT: After reading more about this issue, I now disagree with the firing as well. If this was an issue spanning multiple PPT heads and nearly a dozen seasons, it seems wrong to fire the person who's in charge now. Issue some fines, make it clear that if this issue continues it will result in a firing, and move on. People who have done much worse things have gotten away with a fine as punishment, and I feel like firing someone for this is an overreaction.
how dare you make so much sense!

Baffling to me that a member of HO (albeit an intern) would make such an inflammatory statement regarding this whole thing. Although I have my disagreements with how everything was handled, this to me is 100% unacceptable coming from someone who represents HO.
exactly. i think we now know who spent countless hours gathering the evidence for this terrible crime.....
