[image] Where can I find how long this automatic silence lasts or where that duration is configured? I’ve checked: Admin → Settings → Trust Levels Admin → Settings → Posting Rate limit and new user settings I don’t see an explicit silence duration setting tied to this behavior, and the UI does…

[image] haydenjames: lol thanks. Where would I change this to 24 hours, but for only first-time posters only who type too fast? I don’t think you can atm. At least definitely not via UI. It could be an oversight or just something we have never implemented. We do have the duration-setting for…

They are silenced until they are unsilenced by the manual actions of a moderator. These moderators will be warned by a flag, which will be in the review queue (available at /review). Here’s a redacted screenshot of one from Meta earlier today: [Screenshot 2025-12-30 at 13.57.28]

It is a bit odd that we have this code, which defaults to a 1000 years (lol), but also seemed to have had the ability to set a custom configuration though @user.silenced_till = @opts[:silenced_till] || 1000.years.from_now

[image] chapoi: @user.silenced_till = @opts[:silenced_till] || 1000.years.from_now lol thanks. Where would I change this to 24 hours, but for only first-time posters who type too fast? @Bas I don’t get those warnings in notifications. So it would seem as admin I also need to add myself to th…

Ok thanks. In the meantime, I will add myself to the mods group to receive the notifications.

[image] haydenjames: Yes, that’s already checked, but I don’t get the alerts. That’s interesting. We also have that setting checked on our site but it seems that moderators do not always get the alert in the Review Queue. I thought it was perhaps a quirk related to our particular Discourse i…

I think the setting is kind of the backup so moderators know even when the user isn’t added to the review queue (for whatever reason :woman_shrugging: ). Is there a PM in the inbox of the moderator group about the user being silenced?

No, there is not. The most basic flow is like this: system silences a user (for whatever reason) it appears in the Review Queue moderators deal with it There is no PM, no other notification indicating a user was silenced for typing too fast etc. The only reason I know there are these random tim…

I just wanted to make sure that no message is actually sent. It could also be that no one notices because the notification level of the moderator inbox is set so that it causes little (in this case, perhaps too little) noise. I think it could work to use data-explorer and automation to send a messa…

Combien de temps dure le silence automatique « Nouvel utilisateur a tapé trop vite » ?

D’accord, merci. En attendant, je vais m’ajouter au groupe des modérateurs pour recevoir les notifications.
