Not sure what the best approach would be here, but I'm betting @aral and @fabio have noticed.

You guys might already have a plan or whatever, but... Is there anything the rest of us can do to help?

@iamdorkside @fabio The darn thing is that we can’t just remove accounts that have been suspended as our goal is to try and help them get unsuspended (unless it was for repeat violations of anti-spam rules) and not have to reverify them if possible.

So I’m not sure what to do here.

Thoughts?

@iamdorkside @aral @staff a workaround for now may be to exclude suspended accounts from the @gaza_verified_campaigns posts. The archive already stores information about the current suspension state on their parent instance anyway.

But I also feel that it’d be a bit unfair for someone to be excluded from the campaigns bot just because they have been (temporarily, at least in most of the cases) suspended.

This however points to a disturbing realization: accounts that have been suspended for at least a few days and haven’t had the chance to boost their campaigns actually get no donations.

That might be true much of the time, but for some campaigns it might be that the data fetch fails.

There's also the issue of suspended campaigns. @AhmedOuda, https://www.gofundme.com/f/Two-Brothers-Fighting-to-Save-Their-Family-in-Gaza
