My apologies if this has already been discussed.
It would be very helpful to the mods if there was a way to assign and track warnings and suspensions given to users.
As you can imagine with 48,000+ users and over 1.34 million posts our moderators have their hands full policing the boards.
Unless someone blatantly crosses the line, we usually start with warnings, followed by suspension for a period of time, and finally outright banning.
I realize we can use the "Member is Banned" function and include a note. But that doesn't really work if all we want to do is give a warning. And the original information disappears if/when you reinstate them.
It would be very helpful to be able to track the history (how many warnings, but which mod, for what)particularly if it leads up to an outright banning.
We recently had to ban a long time very active member.
There was a general uprising by his many supporters. We knew it was an accumulative decision, but it was nearly impossible to reconstruct all the details that lead up to the ban.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to explain all the details. Returning you to your regularly scheduled programs now.
