Broadly, concur. Though unsure the best response. Ban

draconian. It would need considerable thought whether it was resolvable by

"Punish everyone involved" is common in the schoolyard.
Which is not a positive comparison. Because it leads to serious injustice
in the schoolyard, when a kid gets bullied, complains about it, and the
teachers punish both the bully and the victim.
A response which says "punish them whether they're the victim or the
perpetrator" values not making a fuss over justice. If you're going to do
that, why even admit that there's such a thing as misuse of privileges at
all? You obviously don't care about stopping it, after all.
