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.
Which particular violation(s) of FT rules does this involve? Is there a suspension already in place for the (repeated???) violations or are you discussing a moot point? If there is no suspension, then perhaps the involved party should be thankful for just a warning and pay attention to it.
