Discussion on: Publicly Displaying Suspensions. Thoughts?

Maybe this is something we should be able to display on a case by case basis, even maybe optionally for the admin?

... Like, the reason we don't typically do this is that we don't want to further embarrass someone who has already been punished because for a lot of situations we don't want to be shy about the action, but if there is grey area we don't want to inflict extra social damage.

... However, when the user has inflicted substantial harm or if the issue is extra public, we may want to do display a message, even something a little vague, like...

mod notice: this account is restricted based on community standards violations

... Could this be something we optionally display on a profile? DEV doesn't want to do this, in general, but we've encountered situations where it would have been appropriate. What if we allow this functionality and then offer it up (with guidelines about how it may not always be appropriate) to other forems as well?
