Does an account ever get resurrected or once suspended is it dead?

For an account to be resurrected from a suspension, the user must have made a very successful appeal. This happens in a very small number of cases. As for the rest, they'll have to make new accounts and leave their old ones alone.

I have read up about suspensions because i was recieving a lot of violations and i understood recieveing alot of them could get you suspended. suspension takes places after repeated and proven violations. crude and profane language, rants in capital letters continued insults to the community or other members, not answering questions in the regular format, threats to other members, being involved in personal disputes and not posting questions in search of knowledge or help. usually someone suspended for these reasons cannot win an appeal. If someone has been reporting (2 or more) on questions or answers that were not really considered violations it depends on how many were not serious. a review under appeal will decide that.appeals can be refused,if the person has been very bad about violations. also a person can be black listed. if a person is reported continously they will be reviewed, in view of suspension. however suspension does not mean you can come back under another account or have multiple accounts. that is a violation and MAs is a violation of rights and responsibilities on any site and sooner or later is caught up with. so the best way to be right is just to be within the guidelines the panel of community member sets for us to go by.

yes you can get it back, if you win the appeal.

Well let me tell you my tale. When I first got suspended it was because of my response to this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnIHM7VUSVj_z5H5c8Y_rqcjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20110127113326AA4f0yB in which I threatened the individual, used foul language, chatted, did not stick to the guidelines in any way. I lost it because they were attacking Dallas, you see. When I lost that account I had none of my poetry backed up. I was devastated. I was unbearably distraght. I felt like I had been exiled from the only place I ever belonged. So I write a LONG letter telling the Answers board that I would lose all my poems and that I was only human and because of the situation, I could not bear to see our girl attacked like that. I also got offers from many of my contacts to write to the board on my behalf,and I do not know if they did, except for Benny, he did.I am not sure why I was reinstated. They did not put my answer back in that link though. I truly think it was that I got an actual person with a heart that obviously does not hold that position at Yahoo any longer.HP said "who do you know at Yahoo?" LOL I have yet to hear of anyone else getting reinstated. That account still gets an occasional Best Anser email and once someone connected to me- I believe it was Carey Ball. That was only a few months ago and it has been gone since April 2010. A couple of months later I got suspended again and still did not have my poetry backed up. Gio surprised me with email attachments containing almost all of my poems. Those that he had not been here for were linked through Benny and Dallas. I was told when appealing the second time that second time was a no-go. And that is that. I agree, being suspended implies that it is temporary. Probably some legal technicality that makes them have to call it that rather than a revocation.

Suspensions are not permanent. Terminations are, which I wish would happen to many of those with aliases on this site.
