Anonymous suspension

matteocontrini

Hello, I personally don't like the fact that when a user is suspended the user can know who was the admin/moderator that took the action, through the suspension notification. On my forum, it happened a few times that members of the staff received insults in private following a suspension, and that could go worse...

Currently it's possible to change the text of the notification so that the username is not rendered, but the profile image is still shown.

Wouldn't it be better if the notification about a suspension didn't reveal who was the user that pressed the button? I don't see any benefit in showing the actor, and it could unfortunately be dangerous.

Thank you.

As far as I know, you can use "FoF Linguist" to modify the "Suspend" plug-in translation of all languages to temporarily solve this problem (more precisely, change the "flarum-suspend.forum.notifications.user_suspended_text" field to " One administrator suspended you for {timeReadable}")

This is a good point. Suspension should be possible to do anonymously

Yes I think anonymity is important for admin activities.

For the record there's an issue on GitHub about this already: flarum/core2614

Not even remotely high priority but that's understandable.
