Changes coming to settings for giving access to features (from trust levels to groups)

I’m really excited about this since I’m relying more and more on groups as a tool for communities I manage. Letting category moderators see whispers could be a game changer.[1]

I’m curious if there’s any plan to add these settings to the list of group permissions (/g/[group_name]/permissions)? It looks like that page shows the group’s category permissions, which is helpful. Maybe that’s not exactly the right place, but it would be handy to have a list of what each group can do (including all the TL groups).

Is there a plan to modify tl2 post edit time limit to be more general? Maybe add extra edit time allowed groups and rename the setting to extra edit time? For context, I’m considering making the edit window bigger for subscribers[2] as a perk and that currently means granting them all TL2. It’d be a lot cleaner to give the subscriber group just the TL2 edit window and not bring in all the other TL2 stuff.

  1. I just noticed this change and I haven’t added them just yet. I do need to make sure there aren’t any whispers that should be silenced completely first. ↩︎

  2. It’s a long story. I’m still thinking through the implications! ↩︎
