#5474 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Make sure the reason for blocking/bozoing an account is always recorded and available

Description

Currently it's possible to bozo or block a user from multiple places around w.org.

Generally when this is done from the forums, a reason is given by the mod/admin who blocked the user; and that reason is visible in the user notes on the /support/users page. This works fine and gives enough context.

The issue is that this reason isn't easily discoverable to admins and other users outside of the forums. And if a user is blocked from another part of the system, no reason or context will be recorded.

We need to make sure that a reason is always recorded for blocking and unblocking an account, and that the reason is more easily available. That probably means:

  1. Finding all the places where it's possible to block or bozo an account.
  2. Removing some of them, or linking them to a central place instead (such as the /support/users page).
  3. Displaying the user notes to admins in a few more places (such as profiles, and the plugin review tools).
