I was suspended on a discourse hosted forum, and I was wondering if I would ever be able to earn the status back ever again? Obviously not now as I’m not trusted on the forum, but ever in the foreseeable future? Or is my account doomed to stay member forever?

You can now remove a user’s penalty history via their admin page. By doing it, the logs will be changed from “suspend user” to “suspend user (removed)”, etc, and that will allow them to reach TL3. You can do this for any user you’ve previously penalized and whom you’d like to reach TL3. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4195c7c9ea1117bef9c3362eb38d818f8303419e

Word of advice: don’t take advantage of hidden text to allow yourself to post short replies on Meta. Great way to get your posts flagged…

so I have to wait 100 days to earn TL3 back after a suspension?

Correct. You will not be able to earn TL3 until 100 days after your suspension is over.

And if they locked my trust level to 2? Then I’m screwed and have to make a new account right?

If you are locked at TL2 than you are not going to reach TL3. You should not create a new account, as that would likely violate the site’s rules and could result in you being banned. If moderators locked your trust level, one would assume they had a reason to do so. Meta is not the place to discuss why another site suspended and/or locked your trust level - you need to bring it up with the moderators on the site you have a disagreement with.

Hi, what’s the implication of “(all time)” shown next to “Suspended” and “Silenced” next to users’ “Requirements for Trust Level 3”? Do these still clear up in 100 days? Thank you.

I believe @eviltrout checked in a change that prevents TL3 if a user has ever been suspended or silenced, even once.

Yes I did. I should note that if the suspension or silence is removed by staff it does not count towards this. (If staff silences someone by mistake they can just remove it.)

Is there a way to remove it from the record once it has run it’s course? I don’t seem to see one.

Can you earn regular status back after suspension?

Any suspensions during the examination peroid (100 days) will disqualify you from TL3.
