POST /api/v2/mod/user-mute

Mute or unmute a user in a subreddit. Muted users cannot send modmail to the subreddit for the specified duration.

Set muted=true (default) to mute, muted=false to unmute. Optional duration_days — must be 3, 7, or 28 (matches Reddit web UI). Omit for permanent mute.

NOTE: Reddit requires the target user to have a prior modmail conversation with the mod team. Without one, Reddit returns an upstream service error.
