Commentary:

  • An account suspension is generally temporary, though in egregious cases may be permanent.
  • Reactivation may be dependent on the user completing some action, such as making a payment, passing authenticity verification, or removing or modifying content.
  • Or, reactivation may occur after a set amount of time without additional action.
