Do section moderators have the ability to mute users only in their category?
-
Greetings! I'm using an old 3.2 build and would like to ask about one of the features. In the new version of the engine, do section moderators have the ability to mute users only in their category? it would be very useful for large forums with different subcategories so that the moderator could silence the user only in his controlled branch, while leaving the opportunity to write in other sections. If there is no such possibility now, can we add it? In theory, the engine under the hood has everything you need and it shouldn't take much time

@julian I would like to use the power of nodebb to create a forum of forums like reddit. Thus, a person limited in some narrow topic by the will of local moderators should be able to write in other topics. This function could form part of the nodebb group concept, a forum branch was linked to the group and the owner or administrators of the group could limit the user only in their category

@Andrey yes, I understand and see the advantages, I simply state that to do so would require a refactoring of the user muting logic.
It is not something that is insurmountable, but it is something that we cannot do easily at this time.
I would invite you to add it to the issue tracker, although I cannot promise a timeline at this time.
