Agreed. When explaining this to others, I've had several people ask if Koha was going to revoke the patron's license to practice law.
"Restricted" or "suspended" would be much clearer than "debarred", at least for Americans.
There is a a semantic difference though, isn't there? between restricted and suspended. Suspended like debarred suggests that the borrower's privileges are removed (albeit temporarily). Restriction suggests some less absolute reduction (You can still borrow books but only on Tuesdays and if you wear an orange bowtie)
I agree with Colin here. Suspended would probably be more accurate. Now, off to look for my orange bow tie.... ;-) Kind Regards, Chris
