However, when you say that "Well there is absolutely no sign of that actual punishment." you are merely speaking based on your interpretation of punishment. Some in the US feel that people imprisoned are not being punished, instead allowed to live without responsibility by the taxes of the people (sorry to use a real life comparison, I know you cannot really compare real life and a game, but I feel it fits).
No matter what the reasons are behind a players suspension, the fact remains that for some players, a 3 day suspension in Holiday mode is actually a form of punishment, as some players truly do play this game daily and for hours each day. You take away that players freedom to play the game, then you deprive the player of doing something that he/she wanted to do.
People that say this is just a "free" vacation, may be saying that because deep down they are the ones that truly want a vacation, but are not willing to pay for it. There are many different perspectives in life, and I feel we should take the time to see situations in as many perspectives as possible.
Also, I encourage you to please not assume that all players suspended are cheating in any way. Without factual proof and evidence provided to show that a play has done something wrong, then it should not be assumed that the player did something wrong.
