Can I make a rule suggestion here? Then hopefully someone in management picks it up and either submits it now as an emergency rule proposal or they do it at the end of the season. With the addition to the rule referenced in the OP, IX.C.1 would read:
C. Conduct and Punishment
Conduct Detrimental to the League is any user action that is reported to HO and meets two or more of the below criteria. Reports made to head office should include screenshots of the offensive behavior whenever possible. Reports will be investigated and, if any of the above criteria are found to be met, the user will be suspended from the spaces where the offending behavior occurred and may face additional penalties in the forms of fines or player suspensions. Repeated offenses will result in heavier fines and/or lengthier suspensions or permanent bans as deemed necessary.
a. Takes place in an official league owned space, including but not limited to:
General chat
Rookie chat
Management chat
Forums
b. Takes place in a public facing area that clearly represents the league as a whole, including but not limited to:
Player or team twitter accounts
Forums such as reddit recruitment threads
c. Contains NSFW imagery
d. Contains hateful or offensive language
e. Takes place in any online or public space and; (1) would meet the requirements of this rule if it took place in an official league owned space or public facing area and (2) can reasonably be confirmed as the same person with an account in the ISFL and (3) there exists reasonable suspicion that similar offenses will occur in an ISFL space."
IX.C.3 (below) defines a suspension:
3. Suspension
a. Definition: a punishment whereby the user’s access to the site and any official league Discord channels is revoked for less than one year, including revocation for an unspecified period of time.
b. Player Implications
i. In cases of a suspension , unless otherwise specified by HO, the player associated with the user will be treated as IA. Thus, the player will be able to finish the rest of the season with the team from the point of the suspension and will be unable to exercise or waive any contract options or clauses. Any pending updates and bank purchases will be processed.
The player will not immediately lose eligibility for any awards unless otherwise specified. The user will immediately lose eligibility for any awards until such time as the suspension is lifted, unless otherwise specified.
The player will be considered IA according to the normal rules for the purposes of the DSFL (two weeks after the suspended user’s last meaningful forum activity).
User Implications
A suspended user’s access to team Locker Rooms is at the discretion of the team GMs.
Any pending bank transactions, bets, or casino assets are paid out as if the user was IA, except that auto-purchases (such as Dotts) are automatically terminated.
I'd suggest adding an additional section to IX.C.1 (so that it doesn't interfere with the use of suspensions for other punishments), as below:
This would give HO the ability to act quickly in cases of obvious rulebreaking, and communicate it to the whole league (not just other leadership/management), and make them accountable in that a member of HO will be publicly stating that they believe the user has performed conduct detrimental to the league so no one would be tempted to abuse this power unless they fancied being kicked out of HO. Mess with the wording slightly if appropriate.
Also, edit to say that Mag (you're still Mag to me until I get used to you having a new name) and Laser summed it up well - I'm not mad about the situation just think you could go an extra step to address many of the concerns. It also takes out of some of the urgency from a Head Office perspective seeing as they're people with lives outside of here.

Code:
f. If a member of Head Office believes that a user has met two of the criteria above, they may issue a temporary suspension pending Head Office's collective and final decision. This will be done by making a post in the Punishments section of the forum stating that the user has been temporarily suspended pending the outcome of Head Office's investigation into the user's conduct. Temporary suspensions will be for a stated period of no more than 7 days and may be ended at any time by a Head Office member editing the original post issuing the suspension.
This would give HO the ability to act quickly in cases of obvious rulebreaking, and communicate it to the whole league (not just other leadership/management), and make them accountable in that a member of HO will be publicly stating that they believe the user has performed conduct detrimental to the league so no one would be tempted to abuse this power unless they fancied being kicked out of HO.
