there are many threads in this section that tells about the suspensions. so you dont have to go looking for them suspensions happen in two ways....

1. a person does something wrong and the punishment is being suspended for a span of days or weeks. then the person can log back in like usual. suspensions do not change a persons name to a number or delete that name.

2. a member can pm an administrator and tell them they would like a suspension because they cant trust their self to stay away from the site and they really need a break. they agree on a space of time for the suspension then when their break is over they can log in just like they normally would.

the coming and going yet remain the same. people do take breaks some long term so it does seem like they come and go yet remain the same.

another situation where people come and go yet remain the same is when someone has asked to delete their account then later on decide to come back. they can re register using the same name they had before (because their original account is gone) or make the new account under another name then pm letting the moderators know who they are and get their old name back again.
