Can you see the problem with that line of thinking? That said Maybe I'd have gone with time served since they could do nothing anyways for four hours.
You're ignoring the pick-and-choose mentality SE is using to enforce a (completely stupid and pointless) rule.

Imagine you're driving and the speed limit is 65mph. You do 70 because everyone is doing 70, not doing 70 would literally be impeding the flow of traffic. You're harming no one, in the middle of a big pack of cars all going the same speed with no issue... and you get pulled over. Just you

Does that seem unfair? If you've got any common sense at all the answer is yes.

Punishing people for things that just plain aren't enforceable is dumb. Punishing people for things that don't impact the game or other players of enjoyment of the game is dumb. Punishing people for picking up the slack and implementing a system to cover an obvious gap left by SE themselves is monumentally stupid.
