I would like to completely remove the Trust system from our forum because **we unanimously hate it** – everything about it.

Is there an easy way to do this?

We just want a normal forum where only mods or admins can edit (other member’s) posts, etc. Don’t want anyone getting additional privs simply because they spent time reading posts, etc. Don’t want anyone’s privs auto changing – only manually done by admin(s).

I am hoping it’s as easy as deselecting a checkbox like for disabling the badge system (first thing we did).

Please tell me there is a simple way to completely disembowel Trust Levels from Discourse.
