The FT Appeal Process -- does it include an "automatic stay"?

In civil proceedings at law, a party found liable for damages can have the judgment "stayed" while an appeal is pending; sometimes this requires a bond, sometimes it doesn't.

In criminal proceedings, a party found guilty can be released on bond while an appeal is pending if they aren't deemed to pose a significant risk of flight or further crime.

When an FT member is accused of a TOS violation, and threatened with punitive action, and the member files an appeal, should FT be required to wait until the appeal is decided before punishment is inflicted?

Is there any ruling on this currently in place?

thx.
