Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 9, 20186 yr Good day folks, is it possible to show publicly that a member has been warned, or suspended, or banned? Mainly within the content view, as in forums, under the avatar, or?
December 9, 20186 yr I'd like to know this as well. I just update the user's custom title when I ban them.
December 10, 20186 yr I personally don't like to show publicly when users are warned/suspended (it's an issue between staff and the member, not anyone else, imo) but for banned users, which are definitely not ever coming back, I move them to the 'banned' user group, which is visible to everyone (it will be visible on their profile as well as on their author panel under their avatar) . I also change their display name to "BANNED_displayname here" so that it's easy for me to see when I'm looking at a member list, but that would also be viewable to other members as well.
December 10, 20186 yr There is no setting or option to publicly show that a user is banned. You could do something manually (adjust their member title, move them to a group named "Banned Users", etc.) but there is no automated methods. This is not the type of information typically presented publicly.
December 11, 20186 yr 21 hours ago, bfarber said: move them to a group named "Banned Users", etc. We use a group called Former Members. That avoids the "Why is X banned?" questions and looks less harsh when promoting a friendly environment.
December 11, 20186 yr Author Thank you all, @GlenP, perfect! Creating a member group and moving them into it is ideal, thanks guys for all your help.
December 12, 20186 yr I move them to a group with the lowest health bar and then I update the title "Banned - Broke our Terms of Service" and then I change their username to "user_disabled." I also remove all of the information on the account (such as pictures.) etc.
