I can click on two of these three headings ( **flagged posts** or **deleted posts** ) to see the relevant posts for this user.

1. It would be intuitive for the users suspension history to be listed if that heading is clicked, but it’s not clickable. Is this intentional or an oversight?

2. Formal warnings could be listed as a 4th clickable item.

The way it is makes sense to me. The posts are in the “public” area of the forum while suspensions are in the “staff” area.

If you are at a member’s Public Profile page, click Admin, then from that page click Action Logs. An “extra” click to get there true, but IMHO not entirely counterintuitive.

If you use the Staff Notes plugin, Warnings can be easily accessed.

Has this ever come up in your current work @eviltrout? It’d be a good addition.

This seems like a good idea. Plus it allowed me to refactor out some ugly code for linking to the admin functionality:
