Following a flagged off-topic on Discobot thread I wonder if Discourse community want to discuss if allowing impersonate users on 1-single-click is OK or could be something moved for specific scenarios.

From my own perspective that’s like using another people IP or ID. They are behaviors that are not aligned with ethics or moral (first than legal or illegal).

I think the same fits with impersonate as one-click solution where admins could post like another users with a single click.

I mean, changing some things on Discourse require manually entering the app, use Postgres and work in data from a lot of queries.

Why impersonate is so easy, when it envolves a thread with multiple perspectives and different legally interests?

That is probably don’t know by the majority of users and we all know that admins can enter the database and change things but that’s totally different from click a button and post like another user.

Admins can suspend and ban users if something bad is going on the forum and they are legally responsible of the website.
