Hi, I’m wondering if it’s allowed if someone has their account suspended for breaking community guidelines for that person to simply open a new account and post from it?

My understanding is they not allowed to, I guess they could email the email address thing that shows when we are logged out?

I can copy paste it later when I on laptop

As far as I know the answer is no. suspending on forums happen through blocking someones IP address. they would have to have access to a different internet service provider, different computer, different cell phone than what they used here so that the IP addresses that have already been used to log in here wouldnt be locked out.

Suspending is different than banning. suspending comes with a deadline. when a person is suspended here they get a notification stating they are being suspended and why and for how long, and what the process is to get back in .....after.... the suspending time is over.

I dont see someone going out and buying a new cell phone or new computer for the new never used here IP address, just because they have been "suspended" for three days or a week or a month. it would be easier and less expensive and less stressful to just wait out the suspending and then following the process to unsuspend the account after the suspending is over.

If you're suspended from the forums, the member themselves, as a person is the thing that is suspended. Doesn't matter what account the person tries to post under, the suspension applies to that person and any or all accounts they may have now or try and create in the future.

If they want to discuss their suspension (whether it's permanent or not) with the admin team directly and no longer have access to the forums, they can always email us at: community at mysupportforums.org

If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us: community -at- mysupportforums.org.

Part of the message that comes up when I'm logged out, i guess that email address would be okay to use for the banned member to email them? unsure
