@LANEFROST has appealed their recent suspension for a code of conduct violation. The original punishment can be found here.
Over the course of the appeal process and upon viewing the relevant messages in various examples, the team has determined that there is no reason to reduce the punishment handed out by HO. Friends and teammates might use certain language when joking around, however text over the internet is easily misunderstood. Therefore, the responsibility is on all of us to be mindful of what we are saying to others. In light of that responsibility, these rules must be enforced.
The team would like to to echo the statement at the bottom of the original punishment: "It is important to remember that threats of any kind have no place in this league. Please be mindful and considerate of others."
This vote was unanimous.
