" You can't necessarily blame them here, and you should still appreciate that they were trying to preserve the information as best as they could."

How many times do I have to state that this is simply not the case, it wasn't a time sensitive issue, hype didn't even have access to the site and they could have easily stalled on that for at least a day to allow for proper discussion to happen without a sense of urgency. Acting like hype was going to get admin site access and they needed to act fast is just blowing this out of proportion. He was only going to get access when an admin granted it, that wouldn't happen if they were suspicious of potential problems. There was no information to preserve, nothing would have happened if they took a day or so to form an actual conclusive case for demotion

I agree though with you on what should have happened although denying admin site access indefinitely maybe not although certainly, I wouldn't have given him admin site access for a while at least. Basically, you put the admin on a trial basis again, give them a second chance to earn back that trust and if they don't then demotion is probably in order. Also, agree with most of the other points (maybe one or two minor disagreements but nothing worth ranting about :P).
