This article covers what you see if your account has been suspended or if you have forum restrictions.
In this article: Site-wide suspension · Forum-only restriction
Site-wide suspension
If your account is suspended site-wide, every page shows the same lockout screen instead of the normal site: no navigation menu, nothing else usable. The screen tells you:
That an admin has restricted your account and it can't be used right now.
Either that the suspension has no end date, or the exact date and time you'll be let back in.
To reach out to whoever runs the site outside the app if you think this is a mistake: there's no in-app support channel to contact.
The only thing you can do on this screen is Sign out.
If your suspension has a set end date, you don't need to do anything once it passes: the site stops treating you as suspended the next time you load a page. An indefinite suspension stays in place until an admin reinstates you.
Forum-only restriction
This is separate from a full site-wide suspension, and much narrower. If you're restricted from the forum specifically:
You can still use every other part of the site normally: collection, ratings, marketplace, game nights, messages, all of it.
You can still read every forum thread and every game's discussion section.
You can still edit or delete posts you'd already written before the restriction.
The only thing blocked is starting a new thread or posting a new reply. Wherever you'd normally see that option, you'll see a message instead explaining you're temporarily restricted, and when (or whether) it lifts.
Like a site-wide suspension, a time-limited forum restriction lifts on its own once the time passes: nothing for you to do.
