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.

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.
Ich bin etwas überrascht, dass dies keine Stimmen erhalten hat. Wurde es dann nicht implementiert? Ich fände das auch nützlich. Ich werde den Flair-Workaround ausprobieren, aber er fügt unnötigen Overhead hinzu.
Ich denke jedoch, dass der von mir oben erwähnte Anwendungsfall (Ablauf der Mitgliedschaft im Gegensatz zum Bann wegen schlechter Dinge) sehr unterschiedlich zu „Wall of Shame“ ist, daher denke ich, dass dies noch einmal überdacht werden könnte. Wie auch immer, man kann sie auch unerwähnbar machen, indem man dies tut: Can I make user unmentionable? - #4 by twofoursixeight
Außerdem wird der Flair nicht angezeigt, wenn die Benutzer in der Suche erscheinen und wenn man versucht, sie zu erwähnen. Leider:
Mit etwas Arbeit kann ich Discourse also dazu bringen, das zu tun, was ich möchte. Ich würde es natürlich vorziehen, wenn es das von selbst tun könnte, wenn man es ihm sagt. Ich wette, wir sind nicht die Einzigen, die diese Funktionalität nutzen würden.
