@doaenel Reading the inquiries you wrote in the first case, you are right in that the actual nature of the first suspension was incorrectly stated to you. I've changed the suspension to two weeks - while we do have the discretion for whatever period length, I agree this is more fair.

@doaenel My apologies for any confusion on this; the account was actioned for repeated actions intended to "boost" an account. While this is commonly MMR Boosting through account sharing - in this case it was through abuse of the Transfer system, and it being a repeat penalty.
