This whole line of thinking—that a 3-day lock of one person is somehow really meant as a punishment for others—is just so completely wrongheaded I'm not going to try to address it further.
It's also utterly and completely beyond the scope of this case. If you dislike the idea of a temporary account lock as a standard punishment for violations of the Social Contract and the other rules of the game, you need to start a new thread somewhere else to discuss it. For now, this is the punishment for Allison that has been handed down, and it is not subject to appeal by you.
I'm not trying to appeal it, I'm just registering my disappointment with how it turned out. I am on the record with my displeasure over Dusty's bug exploit and do feel some measure of punishment is warranted, but as Allison was literally planning to leave her seat today this lock does not punish the character or the player so much as it does everyone else involved (And I realize this is an unintended consequence).
If you don't want feedback on your rulings, then I humbly suggest you either lock threads the very moment judgement is posted or get rid of this sub-forum altogether and do everything on IRC. Don't take it personally, dude, I just think this whole situation is FUBAR, and I'm not going to play my character differently just to circumvent OOC complications.
