I’m going to say this bluntly: moderators need the power to ban trolls. We should not have to refer these requests to the site owners who are not involved in the discussions and don’t have the context.
Without the ability to ban such users, I will need to reevaluate whether I want to continue moderating on this site.
Agreed. Admins don’t actually interact with the boards on a regular basis (nor should they, based on past attempts to use posts as heavy-handed attempts to drive site traffic). It makes no sense to take ban decisions out of the hands of the moderation team.
Hi mods! I just want to know if your ability to ban has been reinstated. If not, please let me know.
Yes, looks like it’s back.
Awesome! Thanks
