 Currently it's possible to bozo or block a user from multiple places
 around w.org.

 Generally when this is done from the forums, a reason is given by the
 mod/admin who blocked the user; and that reason is visible in the user
 notes on the /support/users page. This works fine and gives enough
 context.

 The issue is that this reason isn't easily discoverable to admins and
 other users outside of the forums. And if a user is blocked from another
 part of the system, no reason or context will be recorded.

 We need to make sure that a reason is always recorded for blocking and
 unblocking an account, and that the reason is more easily available. That
 probably means:

 1. Finding all the places where it's possible to block or bozo an account.
 2. Removing some of them, or linking them to a central place instead (such
 as the /support/users page).
 3. Displaying the user notes to admins in a few more places (such as
 profiles, and the plugin review tools).
