According to [What do user trust levels do?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924/6), users who have been suspended within the set time period cannot be TL3 (and will lose TL3 if suspended). However, blocking is not mentioned in the #faq, nor in the code (see below). I would like to propose that blocks by staff should have the same effect. If a staff member needed to prevent public posting by a user, they are not TL3 material at that time.
