I moderate the hell out of my instance. For 5000 current members, over 1000 are suspended. I can’t stress enough how many times I see people actively asking banned members things they will never get an answer for. It’s not an intuitive thing to click someone’s avatar to see their user card (where the suspension is shown), this is why on my forum I get a bunch of “hey, what about this and that?”, “hello??? could you answer me??”, “why are you ignoring me?”, “pleeeeease?” posts.
So, my idea is to have some kind of obvious indicator (red dot? icon?) over a banned members avatar. It’s not even an idea, it’s something that virtually all discussion platforms have (some kind of account-status indicator), would be lovely for Discourse to implement this.

place them into a group “banned” and set a group flair (whatever icon you want).
beyond that, you could use CSS to add elements to their user card with .primary\_group “banned” tag on elements

also, do you happen to know a couple guys we called “the Bobs” (Bob & Robert) that used to run a 10k user smartthings group on facebook?
With that kind/level of moderation and use of the ban hammer, you guys would get along.

That adds unnecessary clicks/steps, and who will keep track of when to move a user out of the banned group once his/her suspension expires? Your solution would be OK for permanent bans only. And we don’t ban users because we’re trigger happy admins who get easily offended. Our instance is a marketplace, we do transactions every single day. This attracts scammers left and right, hence so many suspensions.

for the record, it was just meant to be a touch funny.
as for the flair badge, your site appears to already use them with vip/premium members. just add it with banned. put a red exclamation, or a skull/bones logo.
Or then use CSS to put a red X or the word banned in an that displays in place of a profile pic as an overlay over their profile pic for anyone with primary group set to banned.
Or use CSS to add a “text badge” next to their username.
checkout [community.webcore.co](http://community.webcore.co)
we have some custom CSS that displays next to a user’s name (admins, or users in verification stages of account display vatious title/badge with colored backgrounds). click around, you’ll find them randomly. should give you a starting point.
it’s all “primary group” dependent.

I am kind of surprised this has not gotten any votes. It has not been implemented then? I too would find this useful. I will try the flair workaround, but it adds unnecessary overhead.

There wasn’t any voting back in -19. That’s why. And after that this topic has burried under everything else.

I see. 10 years ago it was also rejected in another feature request here: [Ban symbol next to suspended usernames](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ban-symbol-next-to-suspended-usernames/25045)
However, I think the use case I mentioned above (membership expiration as ooposed to banning for bad stuff) is very different from “wall of shame”, so I think this could be revisited. Anyway, one can also make them unmentionable like this: [Can I make user unmentionable? - #4 by twofoursixeight](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-i-make-user-unmentionable/361108/4)
Also, the flair is not displayed when the users show up in search and when you try to mention them. unfortunately:

> Ok, thanks a lot for answering. Good to know! Given my question, I would of course welcome if the flairs were visible everywhere:-). But it is a minor issue.
So with some work, I can make Discourse do what I want. I would of course prefer if it could do it on its own when told. I bet we are not the only ones who would use this functionality.
