"Suspended for infractions"

[SBL]

Just a quick question.
I've been around for a few months now and from time-to-time have seen various members with "suspended for infraction" under their nom de plume. Now to me, this would suggest that a "suspension" would render the user inactive for a given period, but it seems they are still able to post things?

I have a feeling that I've missed something; either in the forum rules, or in plain sight, but could somebody fill me in?
My apologies in advance as this is bound to pluck somebody's nerves.

I couldn't post when I was suspended ;)

Well, infractions are issued by points to people who break forum rules, piss off mods, however you want to look at it. They expire after a week, but if you get ten, then your account is suspended until they expire. If you get multiple infractions, say...4 points one day and 6 the next, your account will be unsuspended when the point level is below 10.

I have noticed some people posting whose user titles say "Suspended for infractions" and my guess is that it's simply a setting that failed to be changed right away on a user's account after returning from suspension. That, or you and I just failed to notice they were suspended and posted beforehand.

Maybe some have the "suspended for infractions" as a custom user title but they are not really suspended?

You should have gotten a banning a long time ago.

Those who have suspended title and have an avatar at the same time are not suspended..
