> Overview: This simple Discourse plugin adds a setting where you can list one or more usernames; any user added to the list will always have their posts held for moderator approval. e.g. If there is someone who can’t help but be annoying or disruptive sometimes, despite warnings, but also makes worthwhile posts at other times, then you might resort to this so you can filter their good posts from their bad ones rather than ban them outright.

Would be great if somebody knowledgeable could update this plugin. Or even incorporate such a feature into Discourse baseline.
