管理员,请拆分主题。受新用户每日限制

A new user asked a different question latter in the same topic after they accepted a post as the solution.

As an admin I answered the question, but realized it was a good question and so was going to split the topic.

As admin I choose the question and answer post and then when I clicked Move to new topic, was presented with

Is this a bug or by design?

My view is that even as an admin I should be allowed to exceed the new user daily limit.

EDIT

While the message was still active, I went in as admin to Settings - Rate Limits - max topics in first day and bumped it from 3 (default) to 7. After than I clicked Move to New Topic and it worked as expected.

Nice job on allowing admin changes to take effect during a admin action. I know the pages are stateless, but it is nice to see it in action. Maybe you could use that one for a demo.

Yes, we’ve had this unfortunate bug for years. The new topic is checked against the permission of the “first day” user. It just doesn’t come up a whole lot in the wild, which is why we never took the time to properly fix it yet. :wink:

I also advise you NOT to keep this setting modified as it’ll open your site up to abuse.

I do appreciate your advise and agree with it. For now I will leave it and keep an eye on what happens. I am noting this because it seems you like to hear about the use of Discourse when it exceeds a norm.

仅供参考,关于一个在“速率限制——首日最大主题数”方面属于异常值的站点:

(SWI-Prolog Discourse 链接)

不久前,我将该值从 3 改为 7,并表示会提供反馈。

自 2019 年 9 月 19 日(即 133 天前)更改以来,我并未发现与此变更相关的任何问题。

我认为我们的站点属于异常值,原因在于它是一个小型社区,且大多数活跃用户均拥有硕士学位或更高学历,或具备同等的相关经验。

虽然我们会有新用户加入,但他们在站点的行为都很负责任。此外,我在处理垃圾信息上花费的时间极少,在拥有管理员权限的几个月里,我只记得不得不采取行动的一两次。其他管理员似乎也很乐意看到我承担更多管理工作,因此我认为他们也没有在垃圾信息上花费太多时间。:slightly_smiling_face:

忘了这件事了。

自从发布以来,我很少遇到这个问题。
