learnteach. Banishment.
NOTE: I have removed much of this text, as Rachel was not banished, but exiled from the realm. Please see notes below.
The result: She may not attend events in the current reign.
(2) Banishment from the realm withholds recognition of the banished person's honors and titles, and bars active participation in Society events in that realm for the duration of the banishment or the reign, whichever is lesser. Banishment from the realm specifically does not preclude attendance at events, as long as the banished person makes no effort to engage in activities subject to the jurisdiction of any officer, or otherwise disrupt the peace of the event. The Society Seneschal and the Board will automatically review banishments from the realm. Such a banishment must be imposed only in response to serious transgressions against Society rules or standards of behavior at a Society event or in the course of performing official duties on behalf of the Society. If the Board determines that such a banishment is without merit or has been unfairly imposed, the banishment will be lifted and the royalty that imposed it may be subject to sanctions.

Thanks to Hamish (Dave) for the note. The specific language used on Saturday, in the announcement, as I recall, was: "Rachel Zavala, known in the SCA as Ysabella Dolphin, is level II banished." When it is published in the Kingdom newsletter, in the ...November issue, as per Corpora, we will have the exact words. I RECALLED WRONG.
Megan has stated that reasons are not given to the general populace due to the everpresent American possibility of lawsuit. She has both reigned and served as Kingdom seneschal, and has the clue. However, we should be able to see a history
of actions taken both as a problem, and to correct that problem. That history is not clear to me. Please note that I worked with Ysabella on the Esfenn Feast of the Fine Arts, and so may be considered partisan.
Please note that the opinion I am expressing is that I wish more information, directly from sources, rather than stir the witch's cauldron of rumor.

*sigh*
Date: 2009-09-29 12:07 am (UTC)The term of such banishments (I will use the older form for my own comfort) is always at the maximum until the current Crown's reign ends, although I have seen them continued from Reign to reign.
Personally I believe that there needs to be a path for resolution of the matter. However at this point it will require a person or persons with no dog in the race to act as intermediaries.
One other point. I think it is unbalanced, but the Crown has been told to remain silent on the issues, but the SCA does not also restrict the person sanctioned from sharing any and all communications that they have received. If she wishes to do so of course.
