    @Kosiak said in Discouragement and user discipline: @DownPW said in Discouragement and user discipline: Many trolls are very intelligent ((weird right? ) and know how to follow the rules while being extremely annoying. Maybe the problem is not with trolls, but with your rules or your idea of ​​who is a troll. Saying uncomfortable things does not mean being a bad person. I am radically against such a system, just as I am against any kind of shadow ban. If you are not happy with the user's behavior, just give him a warning. If you are not on the same page with him, block him. At least it is fair. Shadow bans and similar bullying are mean. oh no no no no. The problem does not come from me LOL You will see when spammers and trolls come to make you miserable on your forum despite the warnings, the private messages by being nice and all the possible ways of doing things well. Blocking him in his circumstances is absolutely... useless In these cases these kinds of options can save your life. The problem is not my definition of a troll but the troll itself

    @mschwartz Important feedback. On one point that interest's me the most because it's a big deal and a universal problem-challenge for any site admin, owners and operators. Getting users to sign up! I would view this as a platform agnostic problem That does not preclude NodeBB from attempting to enhance signing up users, but the impetus that makes a user sign up to any site is not clear cut and involves a whole range of factors beyond simply the platform and the UI/UX. My concluding comment is this singular point of feedback would benefit the whole and is so deserving it's own topic and here is one I created https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17636/why-do-users-sign-up

    The question you need to ask yourself is why you would like to impersonate a user? list itemIs it because you want to recreate an error the user has? Just ask him if you can logon to his account and temporarily change his password to do so. You don't need any additional plugins to do this and the user knows you are accessing his account. Do you want to read his private messages? Why would you do this? Here (in Belgium) it's illegal. For two reasons : ** it's considered as private information and thus you're not allowed to read it. It's simply illegal. **Another reason is GDPR : you only can access user information if it's relevant to do so and only for the duration that it's relevant. No way you can justify reading his private messages. In case of abuse or more serious illegal activity by the user, let's say he/she's trolling other members, you'll get this information from other concerned users and can act according to this information. It's your perogative as administrator to ban users based on their behaviour on your website. And if the user really does illegal stuff like insinuating or distributing child pornography (I know heavy example), you're legally obliged to report this to the authorities. Not doing so makes you an accomplice, at least here in Belgium. So in my book, there's no reason at all to impersonate a user. And if anybody reports abuse and provides the necessary proof, I'll act according to the forum's rules and if needed according to the Belgian law.

    @a_5mith said: I thought this happened, when you submit the form, it takes you to the home page, logged in, but unable to post until your account has been verified... With the default settings yes. But if you have "Registration type: Admin approval" enabled then you get this strange behaviour.

    @Lafunamor Manage > Users is in the ACP and has a "Ban User" option under Edit. Though it could be possible to add it to profiles based on usergroup in a sense if you have Moderators on your forum. I'm so used to Vbulletin that we would add a few lines of code to only allow access for certain groups to use lets say in this case: <li><a href="#" class="ban-user"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-gavel"></i> Ban User</a></li> This would only be visible to Moderators and Admins and require password entry before banning said spammer. This is just me rambling but I do know this can be possible with a few edits or a simple plug-in. Maybe add it under the drop-down list under the profile button?

Looks like your connection to NodeBB Community was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
