You are banned for n days , because you broke rule #1 , you can steel watch but can't write answers or questions

Technically all suspensions are for “n” days. Of course unless you’re Andrew Martin a suspension of 99999 days is the same as a permanent ban, (There’s also the options of Deleting or Anonymizing accounts)

A suspended account can not log in. so if the forum is login required they will not be able to still read.

If the forum is login required and being able to read but not create topics or post replies is desired you can Silence (Block) the account. Silenced accounts do not have timed expiry, but can be easily found in Admins - Users and unblocked manually.
