Given a graded vector space $V$ over a field $k$, consider it's suspension $\Sigma V$ such that $(\Sigma V)^i=V^{i-1}$. For an operad of graded vector spaces over a field $\mathcal{O}$, the operadic suspension $\mathfrak{s}\mathcal{O}$ is defined in several different ways depending on the author. Some standard references might be An Alpine Expedition through Algebraic Topology and Operads in Algebra, Topology and Physics. All the definitions I've seen yield isomorphic graded vector spaces, but the operadic structures differ slightly. In the reference above, the operadic structure is not explicitely defined, it is just said to be induced by the one on $\mathcal{O}$, but it seems to be obvious that $\mathfrak{s}^{-1}\mathfrak{s}\mathcal{O}\cong \mathcal{O}\cong \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{s}^{-1}\mathcal{O}$ as operads (not only as collections of graded vector spaces).
Here I'm interested in the definition given by Benjamin C. Ward in his Thesis (Section 2.1.2), for which I think that property does not hold.
Background definitions
He defines the operadic suspension as
$$\mathfrak{s}\mathcal{O}(n)=\mathcal{O}(n)\otimes\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n$$
where $sign_n$ is the sign representation of the symmetric group on $n$ letters. The symmetric group action on the graded vector spaces is the obvious diagonal action, and a diagonal operadic composition is given by the following operadic insertion on $\{\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n\}$. We may identify $\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n$ with the exterior power $\bigwedge^n k$, so it is spanned by the element $e_1\wedge\cdots\wedge e_n$. Therefore, define the $i$-th insertion map
$$\circ_i:\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n\otimes\Sigma^{m-1}sign_m\to \Sigma^{n+m-2}sign_{n+m-1}$$
as the map
$$(e_1\wedge\cdots\wedge e_n)\otimes (e_1\wedge\cdots\wedge e_m)\mapsto (-1)^{(i-1)(m-1)}(e_1\wedge\cdots\wedge e_{n+m-1}).$$
We may identify the elements of $\mathcal{O}$ with elements of its operadic suspension, so for $a,b\in\mathcal{O}$ we may write $a\tilde{\circ}_i b$ for the insertion in the suspension. We can compute it in terms of $a\circ_i b$ (the insertion in $\mathcal{O}$) in the following way:
$$\tilde{\circ}_i=(\mathcal{O}(n)\otimes\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n)\otimes (\mathcal{O}(m)\otimes\Sigma^{m-1}sign_m)\cong (\mathcal{O}(m)\otimes \mathcal{O}(m))\otimes (\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n\otimes \Sigma^{m-1}sign_m)\to \mathcal{O}(n+m-1)\otimes \Sigma^{n+m-2}sign_{n+m-1}$$
The Koszul sign rule on the isomorphism produces a sign with exponent $(n-1)\deg(b)$ and then the insertions are performed diagonaly, so after the identification we get
$$a\tilde{\circ}_i b=(-1)^{(n-1)\deg(b)+(i-1)(m-1)}a\circ_i b.$$
The operadic desuspension $\mathfrak{s}^{-1}\mathcal{O}$ is defined similarly using $\Sigma^{1-n}sign_n$, so the signs are the same.
Problem
I expected $\mathfrak{s}^{-1}\mathfrak{s}\mathcal{O}\cong \mathcal{O}$ as operads, but I think that the insertions are different. If I compute the insertion induced on $\mathfrak{s}^{-1}\mathfrak{s}\mathcal{O}$ in a similar way as above using the isomorphism
$$(\mathcal{O}(n)\otimes\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n\otimes \Sigma^{1-n}sign_n)\otimes (\mathcal{O}(m)\otimes\Sigma^{m-1}sign_m\otimes \Sigma^{1-m}sign_m)\cong (\mathcal{O}(m)\otimes \mathcal{O}(m))\otimes (\Sigma^{n-1}sign_n\otimes \Sigma^{m-1}sign_m)\otimes (\Sigma^{1-n}sign_n\otimes \Sigma^{1-m}sign_m)$$
Then, the insertion induced on this product is identified with
$$(-1)^{(1-n)(m-1)}a\circ_i b$$
which is of course not the same as $a\circ_i b$. So, for this new operad created by the suspension and desuspension to be isomorphic to the original one, we must have an automorphism $f$ on $\mathcal{O}$ such that $f(a\circ_i b)=f(a)\circ_i f(b)=(-1)^{(1-n)(m-1)}a\circ_i b$. I think this automorphism must be then of the form $f(a)=(-1)^{\varepsilon(a)}a$, with $\varepsilon(a)=\pm 1$. But this implies that $(-1)^{(n-1)^2}f(a\circ_i a)=(-1)^{2\varepsilon(a)}a\circ_i a=a\circ_i a$, which is not true for all $n$.
Question
Is my conclusion about this suspension true or am I mistaken? I'm not so sure that $f$ really needs to be of that form, but I can't really find an morphism that makes the two structures isomorphic. Is this definition of operadic suspension used by any other author?
