I certainly intend to abide by the rules of wherever I’m posting on, but on some other forums I’ve moderated in the distant past there was this feature where you could issue an official and private warning to user who, although not breaking a rule, could be getting close to it. I don’t see any way of issuing such an warning right now.
Although I think just sending a direct message as a mod works fine for all of lemmy for now, what do the devs and community think of such a feature in the future?
Clicking on a user’s name directly will allow you to message them. The dropdown icon in the far right next to block user will let you take actions like banning, moderating and purging.
