Good catch! That indeed does block TL promotion. I don’t really want to change things up as TL promotions are designed to bring the healthiest community.

Locking TL does work, I think this is probably the best option.

Personally I can probably stick with just locking TL’s but it wouldn’t hurt to have a selectable TL in-case some forum has some customized promotion criteria and want other TL’s to also not be able to cast likes.
