User moderation

[bonnedav]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Moderators and Admins should have the ability to moderate users.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a tab to each user's profile allowing moderators and admins to disable/re enable certain functions for the user.

• asking questions
• answering questions
• commenting
• flagging
• voting

Describe alternatives you've considered

The suspend user function can be used to disable a user for a period of time but this is only available to admins not moderators and fully disables the user.

I think it's feasible for the moderator to have the authority to suspend users.

I'm also curious why these functions (ask/answer/comment...) should be set separately?

[bonnedav]

My idea was to create more advanced user restriction function so that users who abuse a certain function can have that function disabled while still allowing them to login and do other things. I do think allowing moderators to suspend is good though.

For example someone who asks off topic questions can have the ability to ask questions disabled but can still be allowed to vote and flag.
