Is it possible to Mute specific users?
Hello folks, looking for a bit of advice here…
We have a community user who has recently joined and comments on a lot of threads. I'm fairly certain this user is running his responses through ChatGPT and it's gotten to the stage where he is impacting others experience. Is there anyway to mute specific users, or if not, does anyone have any advice on how to handle this? The user in question is from a very important customer so it's a bit delicate - I can't really message them saying "hey, cool it on the posting" 😬

Hey @Alex Dunne
You could potentially look at the Ignore add-on which would allow a member to selectively add that person to their ignore list so they no longer see their comments. This is on a per-member basis though rather than site-wide.
There's some info here -
Or if its starting to become a wider issue then maybe consider the Mark as Troll option -
Before going down the road of either the above, I'd suggest maybe initiating a conversation around expectations in your Community and see if there's a disconnect there that could be remediated. Granted though, I know that's easier said than done on my part particularly with the context around them being an important client.

Thanks @Rav Singh ! I've asked to have Ignore Users enabled in my community. I think once it's live, I might take the opportunity to make a subtle post about ways you can control notifications (only following categories for posts and not comments etc.) and I'll mention that you can ignore users too. I think I'll have to also reach out to his CSM to see if they can subtly give feedback to this user.

This might be a question for the Vanilla mods, but is it possible to "shadow ban" someone? i.e. hiding a user's content from some areas of the community in such a way that it's not apparent to the user?
