I was suspended on a discourse hosted forum, and I was wondering if I would ever be able to earn the status back ever again? Obviously not now as I’m not trusted on the forum, but ever in the foreseeable future? Or is my account doomed to stay member forever?<I have a feeling I’ll quit discourse soo…

You can now remove a user’s penalty history via their admin page. By doing it, the logs will be changed from “suspend user” to “suspend user (removed)”, etc, and that will allow them to reach TL3. You can do this for any user you’ve previously penalized and whom you’d like to reach TL3. https://git…

I think in many cases, silencing (née blocking) would suffice for doing temporary timeouts instead of the more severe suspending. A problem being that silencing does not have a “for __ days” and requires a tad more effort to unsilence a member. If it could coded up I think a “silence expires after …

[이미지] eviltrout: I would prefer to wait for a few examples of concrete cases. It’s wanted on our forum. The Lounge and TL3 in general has a social function, and there are people who have been suspended but who we don’t want to be forever excluded from it. Yes, and we’re about to do that act…

[이미지] eviltrout: I would prefer to wait for a few examples of concrete cases. So this is the problem, right here. The team create a function with (undocumented?) implications assuming a particular behavior, in full knowledge of the consequences. Customers go ahead and use those features for p…

Do you think the issue could be resolved if instead of using “suspended_at” (any suspension ever) for TL3 requirements “suspended_till” (current or past suspensions) was used?

Could this be togglable? I have suspended users for one/two days because they would not drop an issue after being asked (usually arguing about who broke the rules), and suspended at least one user (multiple times) for bumping a ton of old threads. It seems egregious that a single one day suspension …

I’m interested to know why you Suspended them instead of Silencing them? Silencing puts them in “read only” mode which seems would be enough to temporarily stop them from causing trouble and I’m not seeing why preventing them from logging in would be needed.

IIRC it was just because SOP: Give a general warning to stop doing things. Give a specific warning, telling them they will be suspended if they don’t stop it. Suspend them if they don’t stop it. Say “I will silence you” sounds either a) silly, or b) a whole more more threatening than I want. Als…

[이미지] RE_Towers: Say “I will silence you” sounds either a) silly, or b) a whole more more threatening than I want. Also, the point is to tell them to drop it and not obsess over it. Suspending them is the equivalent of throwing them out and saying “come back when you cool down” while silencing …

[이미지] HAWK: That said, you’re correct about silencing having the same effect. I think we should consider making silencing a different case so that CMs can time someone out without a long term penalty. Okay, but that still doesn’t address the problem that users who have been suspended for mino…

I think there has been significant enough disagreement on this option to justify adding a setting. I plan on adding one this week: penalized users barred tl3 or similar, default true.

Can you earn regular status back after suspension?

Making this a user level setting isn’t warranted and increases complexity. A simple global toggle is better.
