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 bec…

Make it so default trust level is trust level 1, make it impossible to attain trust level 2 via site settings and you are done. Also bask in the glory of the automated spam and floods of crazy you get cause you are default trusting everyone :slight_smile:

[Bild] ron_jeremy: Why would you automatically conclude a forum will turn into full on anarchy if Trust Levels were disabled? Not full anarchy, but skipping TL0 is very high risk if your forum has any large levels of exposure. If only a few people know about it you are probably OK, if not, sp…

@sam Ok, that makes sense. Let’s say we were to follow your suggestion about making it impossible to reach Level 2, and the forum went to hell in a hand basket just as you predicted. Can we easily revert back to the default Trust Levels without major side effects?

[Bild] ron_jeremy: and the forum went to hell in a hand basket just as you predicted. I do not predict that, but you are introducing risk. Yes you can undo some of the damage, but default trust level 1 is very hard to undo, cause you will have a bunch of dormant accounts at TL1 that really sh…

The main thing is to not skip TL0 and TL1. You can disable TL2 / TL3 without any risk, but you give up on some automatic community moderation features. TL4 is manual promote anyway.

Understood. My original plan was to disable TL0 and TL2, and make TL1 the default. However, I think I will look at keeping TL0 but relaxing its restrictions a bit, but still disabling TL2 and up.

If it helps - my recommendation would be you keep TL0, TL1, and TL2. I wouldn’t bother much with the TL0 → TL1 transition myself (on a forum with any activity this is trivial to overcome for real users, but YMMV), poking at the TL1 → TL2 transition might be worthwhile. But at TL2 your users can in…

I’m just curious is TL4 only achievable by manual award from admin?

Above says… yes. [Bild] codinghorror: TL4 is manual promote anyway.

Ebenso, wenn Sie eine sehr vertrauenswürdige interne Community haben, können Sie einfach alle auf TL3 oder 4 setzen und das System effektiv deaktivieren.
