Moderation Question. How do you ban or suspend users?
-
I might be overlooking something, but trying to understand how you ban or suspend a user. I was looking at a user profile via admin, and couldn't find anything. Nothing on a page/post.
Also is there a record of a users history when they have been banned?
-
@shinyidol you can ban users from the ACP.
Go to ACP>Manage>Users. You will see the list of users. Click on a gravatar to select the user and click "Ban User" from the "Edit" drop down menu.

@shinyidol I don't think there is history of when they have been banned.

Gotcha. Never crossed my mind to make a selection and use the edit. Expected it to be in the actual user profile.
It would also be extremely helpful to have a moderation action history. Having managed some very large communities, it is super helpful to have a record of a users history and an entire site history of actions done (who did it, statement of why, how long).

@shinyidol I am not sure if all of that belongs in the core. You can create a plugin to do that.

I'd say for large scale use that is a pretty huge deal at least in my industry (video games). So many trolls. Platforms that don't have a moderation history and having to use an external service (excel spreadsheet) isn't ideal.
