[ILHam] Regulatory Question

[Dan Hensley]

As of the recent days, I have been following a story involving a Technician who was "behaving badly" to say the least. 

Hollingsworth had sent letters to this individual, and from what I understand...was very lenient with him until the licensee forced the FCC's patience beyond what could be tolerated. 

Along the process, the operator was accused of playing a CD with objectionable lyrics on the air, and had apparently apologized stating he would refrain from those things asked of him. 

The operator from what I understand did not keep to his promise, and has resigned his license. Now, along the way before they took any measures against this individual, he was ordered to stay off of the repeaters near him....effectively killing his ability to operate even though he still held his license under a certain covenant he was to heed in order to still operate legally. 

The question: If the FCC takes measures against you and opts to allow you to keep your license and to operate legally....can they tell you that you have to refrain from using local repeaters? Or is that applicable only in special situations like this individual was in? 

Reason for the question: I was under the idea that only the local repeater trustee or owner could tell you to stop entering the system. 

Can someone make sense of this for me? This seems really complicated.
