Ban Member - Moderator

[Sarah.]

Hi. I'm using 4.4.10. I want to ask if there is a way that a moderator can ban a member.

There is this Flag as Spammer Button, which can also use Moderators. You can change the Settings in the ACP. Settings>Members>Spam Prevention.

There's no explicit "ban" permission, with the exception of Flag As Spammer, which you can enable/disable when configuring Moderators via the Members -> Moderators page in the ACP.

As for standard bans, those are issued via the ACP or with the use of Warnings. Members -> Content Moderator -> Warnings. Choose a number of warning points that members on your site can accrue that would lead to a ban, then create a warning reason that assigns those points, essentially creating a ban tool. For example, with WebFlake, when a user reaches ten (10) warning points, they are automatically banned but we also have an "extreme violation" reason that issues ten points, giving our Moderators the ability to ban. 

Flag As Spammer is the only one-click ban option on the front-end.

Alright, thanks everyone. Gonna use the warning issue method.

[Tony]

Let us know if the solution provided works for you.

Alright, the numbers of warnings points works. You have to set the number that you want and if the member reach it, he will be banned.

However you can ban him without a certain number of warnings, just by checking the "Suspend from accessing the site" box in the issue warnings widget.

Thanks everyone.
