I banned a subscriber from one of my communities today for repeatedly breaking the rules. I also blocked them because I find them aggressive and argumentative and I’m not here for that personally. But what happens when their ban from the community ends and they decide to post in the community again? Will I still see their posts as mod? Will I only see them if someone reports them for breaking the rules again? Do I need to unblock users in order to moderate my community properly? Thanks!

    I did some testing with the latest code, main GItHub…

    If you are a non-admin moderator of a community and you block a user in your community, their post is indeed hidden (filtered, not even sent) when you load the list of new posts for that community.

    I am working on getting my testing code neat enough so that these kind of behaviors are documented and changes to them trigger testing alterations.
