What does restricted access to a free club mean, and who can restore it?
A restriction is a club-level blocked state: the free-club membership path rejects join or leave actions while it is active. For an eligible regular member, the club’s current owner, admin or moderator can use the remove/restore control. Staff restrictions are owner-only. The control does not promise when or whether access will be restored.
For BSD readers asking about restricted access to a free club · Updated
A restriction applies to that club’s member access
The member-control receipt records whether a profile is blocked in a particular club. The free-club membership path checks that restriction and returns a restricted-access error while it is active. This describes club membership access, not a claim about every part of a person’s BSD account.
A restriction is different from choosing to leave
The free-club membership action has separate join and leave choices, but the restriction check runs before either action. A restricted member cannot use a voluntary leave or rejoin request to change the blocked state; that state belongs to the club’s authorized moderation control.
Hypothetical example: a member’s access is restricted
Imagine a fictional regular member whose access to one free club is marked restricted. That member’s club membership action is rejected while the restriction remains. A current authorized club moderator, admin or owner may use the restore action for an eligible member; this example does not promise that restoration will be granted or reveal any moderation reason.

Does restricted access mean my whole BSD account is banned?
The cited control is scoped to a member profile and club. It describes that club’s access state, not a platform-wide account decision.
Who can restore a regular member’s access?
A club owner, admin or moderator with current moderation authority can use the restore control for an eligible regular member.
Can I rejoin to get around a restriction?
No. The membership path checks the restriction before join or leave actions. The club’s authorized moderation control owns changes to that state.
