| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:58 | comment | added | mentallurg | Hmm... I have now more than 30 days. I can create a rule in the ad-blocker or user other extensions like Stylus to remove the icon. But better would be if SE provides better UX. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:56 | comment | added | Robert Longson | Don't get banned for 30 days then. Normally bans double in duration so to get to 30 you would have been banned for 15 days and ignored it and prior to that 7 days and ignored it etc. As you can read in my answer I think sending a message to the inbox as well is a good idea too. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:55 | comment | added | mentallurg | Why not sending a message to the inbox explaining the ban reason? Then 1) Icon will be not necessary. 2) The message remains in the inbox and user can read if later on again if he forgotten the reason. | |

| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:53 | comment | added | mentallurg | When user wants to find out why he is banned, he will find the icon even if it is less visible. But if the red color is displayed 30 days or longer, this would be just irritating. May be red color is OK for the first couple of days after banning. But not the whole time. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:51 | comment | added | Robert Longson | No, we want people to click on it and find out why they are banned. That way when the ban expires they will know they did wrong and what to do differently so as not to get banned again. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:49 | comment | added | mentallurg | I'd suggest there should be no red color. Red draws attention. Where as in this case the icon should be actually less visible than the aothers. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:49 | comment | added | Robert Longson | Sure, I've edited my answer to suggest one way of doing that. | |

| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:44 | comment | added | mentallurg | OK, displaying a reason would be OK. Nevertheless, if icon is not hidden, it should at least look differently, so that user from the 1st glance can determine that he cannot review questions. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:43 | comment | added | Robert Longson | correct, that's why I'm suggesting that is what should happen when you click on the icon rather than your suggestion of hiding the review icon altogether. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 23:42 | comment | added | mentallurg | I am not sure you know how it really works. When you click on it, it does not display the ban reason. Also it does not have a link top the review queues page. Actually, the only way to know the reason is to manually enter URL of the .../reviews page. Only there the ban reason is displayed. So, the icon does not do what you think. | |
