There are no banned teams, there are banned GMs sometimes but teams carry on. This is how the game should be approached by players. Managers are temporary given a team ID to manage in a persistent world. The team existed before and will exist after the manager. Teams with or without a manager are still competing teams.

Managers face active managers, not so active managers, bot teams. Managers do stupid things, they tend to forget to set a line up against your biggest rival for the title and give him an easy win. There is nothing you can do about it. All kind of things, fair or unfair if you want to call it that way will happen in the course of a season and you can't control it like IRL. The goal is to do the best you can with all kind of unexpected happenings thrown at your face.

If one can't accept that, one shouldn't be playing games with unreliable human players.

it is just 6 weeks, not 14.

Intresting thought with pro and cons, since you mentioned the pro's i try it with the cons:

- we aren't always right and manager could defend themself with appeals. I don't know how much time we should give them for doing it, and how fast they are normally handled but i could imagine that even when he appeals after two weeks and maybe there comes up another question which affords communication more then half of the time already passed.(not to mention a innocent player, who is away longer and wanted to use the possible inactivity duraction and get his team back without his star(s)*)
- somekind the NT gains profit, through those cheater. i believe Wolph defends the opposite way of handling it, in removing all NT player who get any training from cheater.
- it would give it somekind of a pillory function, even when it isn't that obvious.

* i know that an highly unlikely scenario
