My friend recently got suspension for his super user account due to his fault on answering questions.

He likes to clarify the following

If a user gets their account suspended, they cannot answer questions,post comments. So obviously he/she cant earn reputations back.

The user will be at 1 reputation. So how does does the community give the user chance to prove themselves again within the suspended period?

    He cannot participate during the suspension period. That's the whole point. The reputation and related privileges will be returned after the suspension ends. This is different from being banned from only e.g. posting questions, or answers.

    @vikki The best thing would be not getting suspended in the first place. Once suspended, it is usually too late to do anything but wait for it to end. Suspension is a rather harsh punishment only used for particularly bad or repeated infringements.

The whole point of being suspended is

  • Take a break from the system
  • Read, understand why the person was suspended
  • Follow up on tips mentioned on how the person should do after getting unsuspended.

The reputation levels will be restored after the suspension ends. The way to approach suspension is to accept and improve upon things highlighted, not to get around suspension. If the user needs any "doubts" to be clarified, the user can reply back to the Mod message which is issued when a suspension is put in place.

There's nothing to prove during the suspension period, only after the suspension period is up.

You don't need to do proof anything. That would defeat the purpose of a suspension...

There are only two things you can do:

  1. Learn why you have been suspended in the first place, and never break the rules again.

  2. Wait until the suspension is over.

That's real life. There are no out-of-jail cards...

    Why does it have to? If you get suspended you know what you've done wrong.
