(Not sure if this should be posted in ux or feature, feel free to move it if it’s in the wrong place).
Currently there is no easy way for staff to see if a user is silenced, without going to the user in the admin page.
Unlike a suspension, which is shown on the user’s regular profile page/profile card when clicking on a username.
In my opinion something like this:
would be a nice addition (at least for staff members, maybe hide it for non-staff members(?)) to check if a user is silenced. Or, like the current Suspended message that appears when opening the User Card of that user, display it somewhere in the user card.
Personally I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t be a good feature, but I’m sure there’s probably reasons why this could be an unwanted feature. In which case: I’d like to know what the downsides are
The main reason for this is some users get auto-silenced by the System user for typing too fast, if another staff member “rejects” that post that’s “awaiting approval” then the user gets permanently silenced without it being obvious in regular topics. So if someone replied, and later got silenced. At first sight you wouldn’t know they’re silenced and you probably get confused why the person isn’t replying if you ask them something.
Yeah we already have that, but some users were silenced before that plugin was added. So it won’t show up in there. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a flair, a message similar to the ‘this user is suspended’ message on their profile page / user card would also be helpful.
…Really? It doesn’t show on their profile page. Only in the admin user page? I just tested it and it doesn’t show anything on their user profile if you silence someone. Only suspensions will show a message.
gibt es Pläne, den Status „Stummgeschaltet“ im Benutzerprofil sichtbar zu machen? Als Administrator kann ich ihn zwar auf der Registerkarte „Verwaltung“ für jeden Benutzer einsehen, aber unsere stummgeschalteten Benutzer beschweren sich, dass sie diesen Status nirgendwo sehen können – weder den Grund noch das Datum, an dem der Stummgeschaltete-Status wieder aufgehoben wird. Das Einzige, was sie scheinbar erhalten, ist eine E-Mail, in der steht, dass sie vorübergehend vom Posten ausgeschlossen sind, jedoch ohne Angabe eines Grundes.
Das wäre eine sehr nette Ergänzung.
Was Avatar-Flairs angeht, wäre es ebenfalls wünschenswert, wenn diese optional nur für Mitarbeiter oder für alle angemeldeten Benutzer sichtbar gemacht werden könnten.
