You know, I wouldn't be so against this line of thinking if people didn't take it too far (like you did originally) and say that the offender should be out for the same amount of time as the victim. I could definitely get behind a rule that went something like this:
suspension = (infraction factor + intent factor + severity of injury factor) x repeat offender factor
where
infraction factor is a table listing all possible infractions (obviously with some catch-alls for crazy stunts we can't imagine) and what the base fine should be.
intent factor is a table listing the assumed level of intent (obviously subjective but what can you do) and a value associated with it (so maybe accidental = 0, some intent = 3, malacious intent = 5... this would need to be thought through but you get my point).
severity of injury factor is again a table where the number of games estimated to be missed by the victim is linked to a value (so maybe 0 games = 1, 1-5 games = 2, 6-15 games = 3, 16-25 games = 5, 25-82 = 10, 83+ = 20).
repeat offender factor would just be the number of times the offender has been suspended in the past.
