Moderator & Banned User
Quote from andy1966 on February 6, 2018, 12:21 pmI’ve been looking through the forum for an answer, but haven’t found it. Sorry if this has been asked.
In screenshots on this forum, I am seeing that “forum moderator” and “ban user” seem to be hard coded. I have neither when I go into the user profile. All I get is the Custom User Groups I create. Has the moderator and banned user been removed?
To set a moderator, do we now create a custom user group called “Moderator”? That seems to work.
And for banned user, do we need to create a custom group?

no, those options are still there.
Please keep in mind that you cannot see this options for your own user-account because it makes no sense to ban/give moderator-permissions to yourself. You also cant ban/give moderator-permissions to users which have administrator-permissions in WordPress.
