I’m wondering if Discourse can be configured so that when a new member registers, they remain at trust level 0 until they either link a LinkedIn account or a GitHub account? The idea is to make this a requirement for moving from TL0 to TL1, as an extra verification step to help reduce spam, trolls …

Require LinkedIn or GitHub account to advance from TL0 to TL1. Possible?

If you don’t trust them to get to tl1 without one of those logins, why not just disable local logins?
