To ban a reader:
1. Navigate to the reader's comment.
2. Click the three dots underneath.
3. Select "Ban or suspend user".
4. Make the following choices:
- How long you'd like to ban the user from commenting for (1 day, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or forever).
- Whether to not delete their comments, delete the specific comment, or delete all their comments.
The ban will automatically expire after the time period you specified (e.g., one week). To un-ban someone before then, head to your publication's Settings page and in the Community section, click "Manage user bans".
Click on the three dots next to the user's name and select "End ban". This will allow them to comment on your posts.
