When I am working in the admin, it would be great to see all a user’s info on their page. I see their username, and if I click a button I can see their email address, then if I go to their Public Profile, I can see their full name. Why isn’t this all on the admin view of a user, in plain sight?

I’m vetting a new user, even though what I log is the date, IP address, username, email address, and full name, I also need to see if they put anything spammy in the website or bio, so unless all of that is going to be available on the admin page (which seems unreasonable to me), I’m going to need t…

Admins viewing a user’s email address an audited event in the logs, which is the reason I think for the extra click. Now, if we could only get that level of accountability for admins snooping around in users’ “private” messages… :wink:

In that case @kensims , I’d be voting for all that to be on the admin, and forward/next buttons to go from one user to the next in the admin. @downey if it really is about accountability.. then an option for “I don’t care if these are looked at” would be great, especially since they are just an expo…

We average probably around one new user every 3-4 days, so no biggie for me. But if you get multiple new users per day I can see how the current situation becomes much more of an issue.

yeah.. I just had to add/review 100 users yesterday, and expect another batch of 100 in a few weeks.

[이미지] watchmanmonitor: I just had to add/review 100 users yesterday Ouch. :frowning: I don’t think we’ve ever had that many new users even when we’ve had a big influx from The Seasteading Institute being mentioned in a popular news source. It sounds like exporting may well be your best opt…

There is the option moderators_view_emails: [이미지] It would make sense for it to also show in admin if it’s being shown in on the users profile to staff. Although in a simple test toggling the option didn’t work for me in v1.4.0.beta1 +34… … it might need a ./launcher restart app to kick in - but…

[이미지] DeanMarkTaylor: There is the option show email on profile: This always seemed like a strange setting. Why would I need to display my own email address on my own profile for my own self (and maybe admins)? It would make more sense if it were displayed publicly, but I already know my own …

[이미지] DeanMarkTaylor: There is the option show email on profile: I have that enabled, still have to click “show” every time.

[이미지] DeanMarkTaylor: There is the option show email on profile: [이미지] watchmanmonitor: I have that enabled, still have to click “show” every time. That would seem like a bug then - at least to me.

Why are email addresses hidden behind a "show" button in admin?
