Staff can now suspend or silence a user directly from the review queue, for both “User Needs Approval” and “queued-post” reviewables.
The new Suspend user and Silence user options use the same modal already available in the “flagged-post” and “review-every-post” queues, keeping the experience consistent across all review screens. The action is logged in the staff log with a link back to the reviewable.
A few additional quality-of-life improvements:
- Any modal options already active on the user are hidden, so you won’t hit a dead-end
error after resolving the reviewable. - The reviewable user card now shows any active action (with end date and reason), making it clear at a glance why an option is absent.
For the curious, here’s the PR: FEATURE: Allow suspending and silencing users from the review queue - Pull Request #42205 - discourse/discourse - GitHub
And thanks to everyone who reported this in the feature requests!
