It seems like I'm talking to a wall so I'm out of this. I mean come on..." somewhat fair", it's not somewhat fairer, it is fairer. Stop saying "Oh but it likely would do this..." I don't care about possibilities it's the fact proper and decent procedure wasn't followed and you seem unable to just straight out say the way this was conducted was on all counts rather terrible. You didn't discuss the issue with the party involved and admins were rushed into making a decision in a small timeframe (a timeframe that didn't even exist).

And seriously if you just automatically make someone guilty based on a few screenshots and then see no reason to ask him because it "would result in the same situation" you aren't even following the core bedrock of a fair trial. We're on the internet of all places, it's vital you get clarification from the person who states something. I know I've said things like "Oh yeah I'll see about that" and didn't actually mean it at all. Before you go "he was untrustworthy therefore we can conclude with our confidence intervals that this wouldn't change anything", you don't know that. But let's entertain the thought if you actually spoke to hype and the admins collectively after they've been given a chance to review all the evidence and his defence decided to demote him you would have far less backlash from the community.... I know I certainly wouldn't be this against the decision.
