I believe the committee doesn't decide ban times or if/when they are reduced. I think that's all jitspoe. Keep in mind some people have lives outside of DP.
Couldn't have said it any better.
You decided to hack Whaley, live with the consequences. Also, don't think Jitspoe is working on your case with priority or is going to be your best friend, now that you are willing to provide info after you hacked.
