Introducing timed suspensions functionality and guidelines for site curators

Key Takeaways Account suspensions on iNaturalist are no longer indefinite by default; instead, site curators and staff can set the length of suspensions . Site curators and staff have guidelines to follow when deciding how long an account’s suspension lasts, and suspended accounts are sent emails with the reason for their suspension and how long their suspension will last. Staff will monitor how the guidelines impact the iNaturalist community , how the community responds to the guidelines, and will update them if needed.
