So "suspended" and "temporarily banned" communicate a similar message, while "temporarily suspended" still makes sense but is redundant. You chose an odd point to nitpick. | |

| Nov 6, 2015 at 21:03 | comment | added | Octopus | Being for an indefinite period of time is not part of the definition of the word ban. It is defined as a verb, that means to officially or legally prohibit. One example usage I found from an authoritative source (Google) is, "he was banned from driving for a year." And in fact, it is quite common for bans to be lifted. | |
