If you have the time could you add a feature to control the efficacy of flags? e.g. at the moment TL4 flagging a post instantly hides it - would be nice to have the option for it to act as a more “normal” flag.
Firstly Thanks a lot for using my plugin and for your precious suggestion @Ellibereth.
Yes, I will definitely look ahead towards your suggestion and revert to you as it gets done
This is great. Great idea, thanks for making it possible.
Quick question in order to see if it’s possible and if I can help to the repo: Is it possible to change/disable “any” thing based on Trust Levels? ie: Ignoring users only works on TL2 onwards and either remove it or add it to lower trust levels.

Yes, This can be done and we will keep this in mind in our next update .
Is there anything else you want to suggest we can think about that too in our next update?
Hey @neounix,
Right now this feature is not in our road map for some time as we are tight scheduled with works.
But if you want this feature urgently you can contact @pavilion for a paid gig.
Works like a clock@Ahmed_Gagan, thank you very much. This just opens a lot of possibilities to adjust a Discourse site to specific realities without needing heavy changes on Core!
Which takes me to an idea that may need some debate/input:
A Discourse Site is heavily protected in terms of options to avoid “Trolls”, etc.
When pre-registering you can put stuff as private, trust level gates, etc.
At register time you can ban certain email domains, names, IPs, etc,
After register is done, mostly with Trust Levels, you can even block TL0 from posting to avoid “surprise attacks” and stuff. Also, during posting you have plugins like the Blur Spoiler and the “Details” one to let your users write freely without spoiling each other, for example.
As you know, one of the main “points of impact” for communities is the whole “Spoiler Culture” and, obviously, hate-speech, etc. And we have some tools for it, as noted, but I found an “vulnerability”: A TL0 user, even if gated, can give likes to anything, and your users will be notified. If the name picked by the troll when singing up is either a spoiler or an insult (you can imagine examples) it is basically a successful attack on your community.
One thing I was thinking was to try to add a PR to this great plugin to “disable” the Like function according to TL (basically to remove it from TL0). My big concern is that I don’t know if that would break something, like the “normal progression to the next TL” or something like that. I don’t know how “essential” it is for the user from a system perspective at the beginning. Does anyone know?
(@codinghorror and @sam for reference as you are the references I can think of for this type of stuff, but maybe there is someone else that you can point, sorry for the bother!)
I may have jumped the gun with the update, it seems that it is failing after all (I thought I updated but I didn’t since I was debugging another issue and I mixed the option with the default ones, my bad).
I don’t have any option with the “cls_” prefix regarding Trust, however, I went into the logs and I have this:
Will try to use this one as a learning opportunity before I try with the other (have been reading so far and to go form tl0 to tl1 there doesn’t seem to be a setting connected to likes, but I may be wrong).
You can request a feature or report a bug in a reply below or message a maintainer.
