A community suspension is when multiple of people like "5" reports you for break the rules. Sometimes this is abused but helps alot when mods aren't online.

Thank you.  Is such a suspension automatically issued by OpenStudy's system, or must someone (a user?) initiate such a suspension?

jagr2713 · Answer

I think OpenStudy system, but users have to report this "someone" more than 5 or more times and the user will be suspended for about 24hours.

mathmale · Answer

Let's do some research so that we both know exactly how this "community suspension" works.  If you have contact with OpenStudy administrators, due to your status as a "Gobal Intern," could you ask for the facts, please?

jagr2713 · Answer

I mean yes, anyone can ask for facts about the community suspension.

Community suspensions are literally how the name goes :P 
5 reports gets a user suspended. 
A user cannot simply suspend anyone it automatically happens the suspension pop would say
"Too many abuse reports" 
They automatically get suspended for 24 hours. If the community suspension is false a mod may reinstate the user.

thesmartone · Answer

Community suspension does not always help.

When a user makes a spam post, which is vulgar, we can community suspend the user by reporting them. But the post he makes remains there until a moderator comes on.

Also, a community suspension is kicked into effect when the reports on a certain user were all given within a short time such as 1 hour.

Also, the other day you were online, and there was a troll in the math chat who was spamming. A lot of us reported him, but for some reason he didn't get community suspended and you had to suspend him yourself.

Also when a user gets community suspended while they are offline, they don't know why they are suspended, so they evade the suspension.
