Sorry if I’m mistaken but I think this is not right. The Rule says “the
investigator ... in a timely fashion, SHALL conclude the investigation by: ...
if e believes that no rules violation occurred or that it would be ILLEGAL or
INEFFECTIVE to levy a fine for it, announcing the Finger Pointing to be
Shenanigans.”
So, under this language if you believe no rule violation occurred, I think you
MUST declare shenanigans. Right?
