(Conversr Only)

Issue warnings (with an optional Private Topic sent to them) for unruly members. Optionally include one or more of several punitive actions as explained below.

Ban the member's IP address so they can no longer access the site from that device (this also adds their IP address in your htaccess file)

Ban the member so they can no longer log in (and their profile can no longer be viewed by others except high-ranking staff)

Report spammers to public blocklists such as Stop Forum Spam

Put members in a special restricted 'probation' usergroup for a specified number of days

Silence a member from the forum or topic on which they made their problematic post (this also works on comments).

Change a member's usergroup (useful to de-rank them)

Automatically delete recent or violating content / posts posted by the member

Charge points from the member's balance (also affects rank points to penalise their ability to rank up)

Reverse recent point transactions members made in abuse

Save and load explanatory messages for future use

Automatically generate punitive action text in the Private Topic sent to the member

Members can view their account standing on their profile, including any active punitive actions and their warnings history

Staff can view full details of individual warnings including an action log and options to undo some of the individual punitive actions

Develop your own cns_warnings hooks to define additional punitive actions that can be used with the warnings system

Use one of the several pre-defined "reasons" for a warning in the dropdown to include the warning in your site statistics (for number of warnings issued by reason).
