Proposed: allow moderators to silence, not delete users flagged by akismet

I agree with this, especially now we have Reactions to take into consideration.

I also think replying to non-staff PMs should also be removed.

This would make Silence more effective as a halfway house where community interactions were not permitted, but unread lists were still tracked, bookmarks could still function, conversations with mods in PMs would still be possible, etc.
