For those who lied to whereabouts and got caught was it an immediate ad sep?

I think various factors ultimately determine the severity of getting caught not reporting/lying to whereabouts. As Anonymous stated, a good relationship with the staff can play a big factor. I knew a couple of volunteers who were caught far away from their sites, hadn't reported whereabouts, and weren't punished. Meanwhile, some had reported to whereabouts, but got in trouble with admin still for reasons unknown to me, resulting in various consequences (site arrest, black mark on the volunteer's record, etc). In the end, it definitely varies from post to post I think.
