Per keps on this one. There wouldn't be any suspicion because in that scenario you would have actually spoken to hype first before running off and rushing a decision that ultimately the vast majority of the community has disagreed with.

I'm sorry but I'm kind of tired of this whole argument that the decision had to be made with such haste, it didn't. Again the most reasonable process here would have been to keep this under wraps, speak to hype, and then give the admins a day or two to decide and discuss the issue. There was no need to do it so quickly because again he didn't have admin site access. If anything doing it that way could have lead to a clearer decision because say you told hype to not discuss the issue with others and he did then you would have more reason to demote him.
