At this time, we see no infraction here.
Can you clarify that you don’t see an infraction here, but it is against the rules to miss turns on purpose. Or you don’t see an infraction because what they did was ok?
The rules seems to indicate what he’s being accused of is against the rules (I haven’t looked at the game or evidence tbh) so I assume it’s more of “we don’t see it was missed intentionally to warrant an infraction” ?
We had this discussion in TOFU recently and I could not find anything in writing on the site that says "intentionally missing a turn" is against the rules.
It is also virtually impossible to prove the "intentionally", unless the person admits to it.

I agree with Lindax.
The only argument is to claim
(A) That intentionally missing a turn is Game Abuse
and
(B) The missed turn was intentional
As stated, (B) is near impossible to prove.
You can't prove intentional missing based only on game activity.
In my own experience, I have played maybe 20+ turns in a row, skipped one, with intention to come back and take it, than forgot and missed. This I have done multiple times.
Even with the difficulty of proving (B), I'm not overwhelmingly convinced of (A).
