Anyway, older users sometimes “end up on systems.” And that’s the only place they’re going to be for the rest of their life. So we children would like to go in and sometimes adjust some things for them. But we’re not admins. This would be an example of where allowing users uses to turn those things off would be useful.
For instance, Grandma uses gmail. I tried to tell Grandma there’s a better program to use but let’s just say be thankful that she can even use Gmail. So I at least in Gmail I can go in and adjust some things to make it easier for her to use.
Anyway in Discourse we can adjust some things. But there’s a few more things that would be great to be able to adjust. Even if we’re not admins.
Let’s take Grandma again. None of the site trust levels would have any relevance to her. Telling her about them would only make it seem like she did something wrong and her account is going to get closed or something.
Sure I can say, “Grandma, just READ the message.”
But, well, try it on your own grandma and see.
