I’m experiencing a recurring issue in my Discourse forum where I receive notifications that users have been silenced. When I check their public profile, the silenced status is displayed prominently at the top. However, when I access their admin profile panel, the “Silenced” field shows “No.”
This creates confusion and inconsistency. Could someone help me understand what’s causing this discrepancy?
What I’ve observed:
- Multiple users have shown this behavior
- The public profile clearly indicates silenced status
- The admin panel shows the opposite
- I’m unsure which status is the accurate one
Questions:
- Is this a known issue or expected behavior?
- Could there be different silencing mechanisms (manual silencing vs. automatic silencing) that show differently?
- How can I determine the true silencing status of a user?
Any insights would be appreciated!
