Thanks Sam I will try that.

@codinghorror , I don’t want people to blame the site, and I don’t think that will happen with our group. I can’t think of a better analogy than college applications at the moment.

submit college application \> get accepted and access higher learning

Our TL0 users are applicants for a hand-picked community. We don’t want them doing anything at all on the forum until they are picked for promotion. We’ll have a post in a category they can see explaining how to apply for advancement. We will also explain things in the About section and maybe FAQ. Once accepted, we’ll promote users to TL1.
