Automated profile sanitization when banning (Profile Spam)

Related products:CC Moderation

When banning a user, either via AI high confidence spam detection or manual moderator action, their public profile stays visible. Spammers exploit this by creating accounts purely for link farming; even after being banned from posting, their spammy profile fields and forum signatures remain.

The Proposal

Add an automated sanitization trigger when an account is banned, backed by an admin-level configuration toggle.

  • Trigger Scope: Executes on both automated AI bans and manual moderator bans.

  • Fields Purged: Clears all profile fields and signatures, and resets avatars to default.

  • Admin Setting (Opt-In/Opt-Out): Add a toggle under Community Settings > Moderation:
