How to disable title changes for all users on Discourse?

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion centers on xkhalid’s inquiry about disabling title changes for all users on Discourse. ondrej responds by suggesting CSS to hide the option, but clarifies that normal users typically cannot change titles anyway; only staff have this permission, unless dealing with badge titles which can be disabled separately.

xkhalid explains the motivation: they wish to assign special titles to specific trust levels (0, 1, 2, and 3) to create a ranking system. However, ondrej notes that automatic groups, such as trust levels, do not support custom titles. To achieve this, xkhalid is advised to create new groups for the ranking system and is directed to a related topic on automatically assigning titles based on trust levels.

You can hide it with css see this documentation topic

But I’m not sure why you’d do this since only staff can change titles, not normal users [1].

  1. unless its a badge title but you can disabe that too ↩︎

Because I want to create a special title for specific trust groups 0, 1, 2, and 3.
It looks like a ranking system.

Automatic groups like the trust level ones you mentioned above don’t have the option do add a title. You’d have to create new groups for ranking system.
