[SC] Ban Management Suite 1.0.0

A complete moderation workspace for cases, restrictions, evidence and appeals.

[SC] Ban Management Suite brings your moderation workflow into one organized XenForo ACP interface. Document incidents, assign cases, apply restrictions, preserve evidence and review appeals while keeping a clear history of each member’s behavior.

From a short posting cooldown to a permanent account suspension, your staff can record the reason behind each decision, follow up on repeat offenses and give members a clear way to understand and appeal eligible restrictions.



Case management

• Create individual moderation cases with private titles, staff summaries and member-facing reasons.
• Assign cases to staff members and set Low, Normal, High or Urgent priority.
• Schedule review dates and record resolution notes.
• Manage Open, Closed and Dismissed cases.
• Add private staff notes, attach supporting links and pin important notes.
• Review restrictions, appeals, evidence, incidents, probation and activity from the case page.
• Detect conflicting case edits to help prevent staff changes from being overwritten.
