Permanently suspended means not temporarily suspended (for a few weeks etc). Everyone gets the ability to appeal. Whether the twitter kerfuffle affected the appeal process is another matter though.
- p_j_w 4y agoI think the word they really want to use there is "indefinitely." It doesn't imply the same thing that "permanently" does.
- helsinkiandrew 4y agoBeing pedantic indefinitely means "lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time", which kind of implies that the account will be unbanned at some point in the future. But I don't think there's an English word that conveys something will last for ever but could be stopped. Perhaps they should use "limited ban" for a temporary ban and "unlimited ban" for permanent or "permanent appealable ban".
- threatofrain 4y agoI don’t get the ability to appeal. My Twitter account is permanently suspended and the appeals process is blocked for me. I have maybe tweeted once or twice years ago. I don’t get any explanation for why the appeals process doesn’t work for me or what’s wrong with my account.
