Badge that grants badge-giving privileges

Yeah, that’s a boolean flag on the badges. For example: Discourse Meta Upper-right.

Here’s a quick diagram of what is happening with the trust level badges.

        V
    Privilege <- manual
        |
        V
Database Condition -> Badge <- manual
                        |
                        V
                      Title <- manual

I could manually grant the “Elder” badge, or manually set your title to “Elder”, but neither of those are going to give you the ability to close a topic, while TL4 would.

What you want is user ACLs.
