Suspended Members Can Accses Connect Site, They Just Can’t Post

@TraciC It was brought to my attention by a suspended Local Guide on an unofficial Local Guide Facebook site that he can fully access this connect site on a read only basis. He is able to search topics and read content. To test this theory, I signed out of my account and found that I too, while signed out, was able to navigate the site, view the latest, updated posts, and only when I attempted to write a post, was I automatically signed it. Is this the policy for access to localguidesconnect, that suspended members have access to all information, but not the ability to post?

Local Guides Connect is a public forum, you don’t need to be signed in to read the public area, so everyone can read it, even a suspended Local Guide.

But of course, only members can contribute, so you need to be signed in to post in the community.
