About the category moderator feature

[JammyDodger]

As Stephen says, it is unusual for users to start at TL3. The perks it grants are more for your members who understand how the day-to-day running of the forum works (eg. What topics go where, how your topic naming conventions work, what gets tagged with what, etc). In the normal course of events, people would be auto-promoted based on their recent participation, which is generally a good indicator that they know how you like things organised.

We noticed that disabling this site setting below, also means that TL4 Users cannot recategorize or edit other Users posts, which is not ideal.

Is there a now setting which allows us to control what Trust Level Users must be to recategorise or edit Titles/Tags?

I think there is some talk of seperating this out and having something for TL3 and something for TL4, but there’s no timeline on this yet:

Separate 'trusted users can edit others' setting for trust levels 3 & 4

Currently there is a single setting for both of these options: trust level 3 can edit others’ topic titles and tags trust level 4 can edit others’ posts It would be handy if these were separated into different settings. For our case: We want to enable trust level 3 editing topic titles and tags, since the changes that can be made there are limited. But currently we want to disable editing others’ posts for trust level 4. In the past we’ve disabled the setting altogether if we want to limit…

Though I think in your case it may be that you actually want your users to be TL2 and to just be participants rather than assist with organising and housekeeping?
