I can’t figure out how to switch from Blocked: False to Blocked: True. It’s not an obvious process and I don’t see another thread on this topic with instructions. [image]

You don’t need to – if the user is suspended that means they can’t log in, so blocked (can’t post) state is irrelevant.

Thanks -suspension was my plan B because it wasn’t clear to me how to block. I couldn’t click to change false to true. When I viewed currently blocked users on the Admin panel, there wasn’t a button to add another user.

I can’t figure this out either. I want to un-suspend a user and block them instead. If I un-suspend, I still don’t see a button to block.

Are they still going to receive emails from Discourse after suspension?

Site staff can PM you still after suspension, you won’t receive emails other than PMs from staff. Staff can also send you an email for the reason of the suspension just before the suspension, [Screenshot_2018-01-14-22-27-25-1]

[image] Noah751: They can if they’re email notifications are on in user preferences This is not the case. Suspended users will not receive any emails other than PMs sent to them from site staff. See Understanding user statuses, roles, and permissions.

oops, my bad, originally got that thought from [image] PMing suspended members Feature (Sorry - not sure if this is the best category.) Somewhat to my surprise, you can PM a suspended member. Nothing pops up to say “sorry - member is suspended for the next 200 years, so don’t hold your breathe waiting for a reply” or anything like that. (It does take you to their profile page, where the suspended message is displayed, but how many users intent on sending a PM will stop to read that?) If an ordinary member PMs a suspended member, no notification e-mail is sent, but if a moderator… Didn’t know that until now! :wink:
