I’ve had a few confused/snide comments about “1000 year” suspensions after people see :
3020 is the year used internally when Discourse records a “forever” suspension (now + 1000 years)
Could the UI be altered so when a suspension period is “forever” (i.e. > 100 years from now) it looks like this?

Hi,
Perhaps you can change
js.user.suspended_permanently
In: admin -> customise -> text
To: This user is suspended until further notice
This will only apply to permanent suspensions but not sure how well it will help.

Thanks but this doesn’t allow me to remove the date, which is the issue here. On my instance the text is set as follows:
maiki

I removed the date:
Are you receiving an error message?
That would remove the date for all suspensions, not just forever suspensions, wouldn’t it?

Oh , sorry, I misread the screenshot, thought you were trying to change js.user.suspended_permanently
and were unable.

Not a bad idea, how much work would this be @eviltrout? Any sufficiently far-future date could be summarized with different text.

Could definitely consider. I think @ChrisBeach has a point. When people see 3020 it looks bad on the user and as Chris said:
So I would welcome the changes should they happen.

I don’t think it would be very hard to add a helper that displays a different message if it’s far in the future. @Roman_Rizzi can you handle it?
