What’s the deal with people being able to edit titles? Can only Regulars do this? I ask because on another forum, we are having some issues with people editing topic titles.
Yes, that’s a feature reserved to Regulars:

But I assume each forum will have its own social rules around this?
The key word here is Trust
I can think of two common cases where changing a topic title is appropriate.
A new(er) member posts a less than accurately descriptive title. eg.
“Please help me with this”
Such a title does not convey what the topic is about so it would be justifiable to edit it to something better eg.
“Need help understanding Profile Preference Settings”
Another common case is misspelled words. Though I imagine most humans can figure out what was meant, automated Search isn’t always so intelligent. eg.
“Howto: Stting up an email servere”
should be edited to
“Howto: Setting up an email server”
I guess some people might be more the “spelling / grammar police” type and feel an urge to “polish” titles, but I would hope that such an urge would be generally suppressed.
That is, that most having the capability to edit topic tiles would not assume the role of “proof-reader” or “copy editor”.
Hi All,
We’re having a lot of issues and complaints regarding a large number of users being able to edit all thread titles.
Is it possible to make this an admin only function or perhaps limit thread title editing to the first 5 mins after a thread is posted? I’ve looked and can’t see any options to limit thread title editing - even removing the edit option for all users (which meant admins couldn’t edit posts) still allowed users to edit thread titles.
Would really appreiciate some help.
Many thanks
Sean
Just press the pencil icon next to the date to see who edited anything.
It should be in the edit history of the first post. You’d have to know which topics are making users mad and see if there is a common person involved
Ok. So I have to moderate? Is there no way thread title editing could be curtailed? Obviously it is sometimes useful but getting tonnes of complaints from users and I assumed there is just a combination of settings that I’m missing.
The only thought I have is you have your TL 3 settings too low and to raise them. It will take 2 weeks for it to kick people out of TL 3 (as there is a grace period), but that is the only setting I can think of at this moment.
Is it not possible to move title editing to a TL 4 option? I’ve made it really hard for anyone to become level 4, I think.
TL4 is manual by default.
TL3 should be hard. Here we have only ~30 TL3 users in a 23k user base with 1.6k active.
You have 153 TL3 with 850 active users (17%), maybe raise reqs a bit.
I’ve just massively upped the requirements to 100% of posts and 10,000+ for the other elements. I’m assuming they only need to fulfil one quotient?
Will this change demote everyone to level 2 tomorrow?
No, they have to fulfill all of them. Posts Read, Flags received, Flags given, et al.
For the record, we only have 42 TL 3 users on our instance (several of them were assigned and locked into TL 3 as they are “staff, but not moderators”).
안녕하세요,
신뢰 수준 3 또는 4인 사용자가 주제 제목(또는 이벤트 내용)을 수정할 때 알림을 받을 수 있는 방법이 있을까요?
가장 관련이 있는 리포트는 /admin/reports/post_edits 에 있는 것일 텐데, 맞나요? 이런 종류의 수정이 발생했을 때 알림을 받을 수도 있을까요? 게시물이 검토 대상으로 표시될 때와 같은 방식으로요.
신뢰 수준 3과 4 사용자에게 주제 제목을 수정할 수 있는 권한을 부여하는 것은 커뮤니티를 신뢰한다면 좋은 기능이지만, 일부 사용자가 이를 악용하여 제목을 함부로 변경할 때가 올까 봐 걱정됩니다.
감사합니다,
Ilias
답변해 주셔서 감사합니다.
리뷰 대기 목록(/review)을 확인해 봤는데, 이런 종류의 알림을 찾을 수가 없네요.
경고나 강등 조치에 대해서는 말씀하신 대로 맞습니다. 하지만 그렇게 하려면 먼저 제목을 임의로 변경하고 있다는 사실을 알아야 하거든요. 바로 그 부분에서 알림이 필요합니다. 
게시글이 수정되면 해당 게시글의 소유자에게 알림이 전송됩니다.
이 논리에 따라 토픽의 첫 번째 게시글의 소유자, 즉 토픽을 생성한 사용자는 제목이 수정될 때 알림을 받게 됩니다.
TL3 사용자에게 제목 수정 권한을 부여하지 않으려면 사이트 설정에서 해당 기능을 비활성화하세요:
신뢰할 수 있는 사용자의 다른 사용자 편집 허용
높은 신뢰 레벨을 가진 사용자가 다른 사용자의 콘텐츠를 편집할 수 있도록 허용
@codinghorror 위키 제목 편집만 따로 활성화할 수 있나요? 현재 해당 기능이 보이지만, 있으면 좋겠습니다.
아쉽게도, 해당 기능은 완전히 꺼져 있거나 켜져 있는 상태입니다.
