Harry and the Suspended Account

So I was cruising down the "SU" street in my 64 and happened to stumble across the surprising fact that the BIG dog HarryMC was NOT the #1 of all time on SU any longer reputation wise.

I searched for his account, couldn't find it, and eventually found a post I was on from the past where he commented. To my surprise this BIG dog has a rep of 1 and his account is Temporarily Suspended for plagiarism (see below).

enter image description here

I read over the Temporarily Suspended post to ensure I understand what can cause such punishment as I wasn't sure why his rep would be stripped while suspended; but now it makes better sense.

When it comes to plagiarism a person would think that someone who has been around the community so long would know to put an "easy" and "simple" reference to the material they get the detail from when posting. Having an account suspended being around for so long and having so much rep must be a humiliating experience.

Questions

  • Does the SU community have the ability to review the stats from any particular account regarding suspension and previous occurrences?

  • I wasn't sure if there was anything at https://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/queries for example where you can change the ID number or name of the account being searched to find such statistics?

While I may not be the most active account on SU , I at times also try to hop over to Review to go thru what I can as well as answering a question here or there. I've never seen the HarryMC profile image there nor many of the other BIG rep dogs like they're not putting in any time at this level. Since I've wondered this in the past and only now that I've noticed this with the BIGGEST dog of them all's account being in this state, it's a good time for me to ask Meta.

  • So I wasn't sure as per Temporarily Suspended where it specifically states "The user never gives anything back to the community, but only takes." if such a classification would be applicable where an account doesn't do any review duties?
