One of the really handy things that Genesiv allows you to do is issue time-based suspensions to users. This means that they are essentially “timed-out” and can only return once they have served their suspension.
Suspensions are usually useful as a next course of action if a user has already received multiple warnings or if a user breaks a particularly important rule.
