My forum users have recently discovered they can make “checkmarks” checkable by others, is there a way to disable it? It’s getting out of hand
AI-generated summary
The discussion is about disabling checkmarks in a Discourse forum. codergautam is experiencing issues with users making posts editable by others, resulting in misuse of the checkmark feature. not-ethan suggests adding [] and [x] to the watched words list to block unchecked and checked boxes, while JammyDodger recommends disabling the Checklist plugin by toggling off the checklist enabled admin setting. However, codergautam decides to keep the feature for staff purposes and will warn mods not to make posts wiki.
oh interesting a mod made the post a wiki, otherwise it wouldn’t have been editable
you can go to /admin/customize/watched_words/action/block and add [] and [x] to the list so it comepletly blocks un-checked and checked, check boxes well still allowing the brakets to be used.
Plus non staff and TL4 shouldn’t be able to check them unless its wiki or they are the author
Alternatively, you can disable the Checklist plugin by toggling off the checklist enabled admin setting:
The Checklist plugin has recently been bundled with core, which is why you may now have the feature if you didn’t previously.
Thank you! I will keep it since it does look useful for staff purposes, but just warn mods not to make posts like this wiki.
