Hi. Is there any easy way to ban user with automatic change his nickname to different color? For example, not banned user nickname is green and it changes to black after ban?

I had to do this by making a new user group, naming it banned, and then when banning someone I also have to add them to that user group to show them as banned as well. I dont think its a default setting

Thanks for answer.

I have 2 more questions.

 

I change usergroup in backend of forum. Is there any option to change by editing userprofile in frontend?

 

And second. Nick of deleted turns to for example Guest156. Is there any way we leave old nick without change?

Yes, you can do it on the forum in the edit account information button on the users profile page. You can change the user group there.

Sounds like you're doing a soft delete, and keeping the content the account made, but getting rid of username and other info. If you wanted to, you can make an account called "Deleted User". Then when you delete someone, but they have content you want to keep, you can move all of there info over to that account. But I dont think there is a way to delete an account and keep the username.

It works for administrators, but not for moderators. Any solution for that?

@marcin-jasmin Edit the moderator abilities so then they would be able to. Not sure what you would need ot enable but itll be something like "edit user account"
