Note for loop mods: The difference between "removing" and "suspending" members
There have been a couple of questions regarding the difference between "removing" and "suspending" loop members by loop moderators.
To clarify the difference:
- "suspending" a loop member can be reversed (by using "unsuspend user") , it is thought for loop members who violate loop guidelines but might be allowed to post in the loop in the future.
- "removed" is forever. This should/can be used by moderators who want to remove a loop member who is involved in off-topic-spam or is so abusive you do not want to be bothered in the future. The "removed" status can not be reversed by loop mods.
We have - in rare cases - changed the "removed" status to "suspended" where it was used by mistake and mods have asked for help, but it's not something the SL Team does on a regular basis.
Have a nice day.
