In this thread, [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=360837](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=360837) , Lynn says that the op would have to wait another month before posting (paraphrased.) The op is listed as “banned.” I thought that ops who were only temporarily prevented from posting were “suspended.” Has that changed?
