Button/Display User ban reason - Skullmeat - 09-11-2021

Exactly what it says. When a user is banned, either add a button to take you to the ban page and display that user is banned, or when they are display it on their profile.

In the Bans page, enter the username In the text field, select "Banned User" via the drop-down menu and hit Go.

It takes 10 seconds to complete the entire process.

Thanks Mothered. I think many of the average users miss the page links in the bottom right of the forum. Not that I think they should be moved, but it's not as obvious.

I kinda like the idea of it being displayed on the profile, since we are frequently asked "why did so-and-so get banned?". However, I'm not sure that would stop people asking xD

The thing is its only upgraded users who can see bans.

Fair point!

Upgraded members can search the ban list here:
https://sinister.ly/misc.php?page=bans

We could open it to regular members, but I like that it's a perk of being upgraded.

Guests can also view It.

That's what my post Is based on - logically, every registered member should have the same permissions.

Given It can be viewed by guests, I would've thought It'd be the same for all registered members.

I stand corrected. It is in fact accessible to regular members.

Maybe that would be a good suggestion for implementation? It's not exactly something I'd look forward to if I was upgrading. It seems a little too specific to me.

I share the same opinion.
