Suspended accounts should be able to post in ''Ask the Mods''

I think people should be able to contest their suspensions in Ask the Mods, as long as they keep it to a single thread. It's rather annoying when you get suspended out of the blue for some total nonsense and your only recourse is to email customer support, and by the the time they actaully get around to it, your suspension is over anyway.

Now before someone says that, "Well, if you got suspended, you probably deserved it anyway," I'm just going to point out that I just got suspended recently because one of the mods apparently thought (or pretended to think just to have an excuse to suspend me) that the phrase flame retardant used entirely in its proper context was somehow a reference to a mental condition.

The only problem with that is that mods have no way of un-suspending users.spazzx625

Hmmm... Let's say it was possible to do this. I can see the advantage when you are suspended, but I don't think there are enough suspension given that have been turned over in the moderation history to merit this. lancelot200

Maybe that's because there's not much you can do once you're suspended. You can try Customer Service, but I don't think that works (more a complaint against customer service in general than that of GameSpot). All we're allowed to do is be pissed in our blogs (I write them during the suspensions).

No I mean afterward. Even if you served the time. What's more important is that it doesn't stay on your record. How many successful cases of suspension reversals are there? If there are at least 100 out 1000 than it's useful but 10 out 1000 is not worth it. lancelot200

I'm guessing because people don't try to report them, since they can only do it once they've served their time. Maybe if the suspension could be reasonably repealed during the time served, more people would try.
