Yes, this is the trick. The question / answer cannot be automated, and the registrant must remain in the initial group until the question is answered sufficiently.

One thing I have considered is making the trust-level-2 associate with the additional boards (topics). This way I can use the “received # of likes” as a way of “affirming a correct answer”. This is not ideal, however… it leaves loose ends since anyone can like a person’s answer post, even if the answer is insufficient.

Another thought is to use the API. I use WP as an SSO provider, so I could write an extension that would place a new registrant in the initial group:

Is there a difference to doing it one way or the other? I just couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong with the other way. F…

If there are no other obvious options, I will go this way.
