Considering a proposal to allow certain users the ability to be immune from some of the default posting limits - specifically minimum topic and post lengths.
This would allow some (admin-approved) automated systems that hook into Discourse to post content from a separate platform without any additional restrictions by Discourse. Special automatic posting privileges would no longer need to handle title too long/short while still requiring the rest of the community to adhere to posting standards.
For example, I’ve got a Hubot plugin that might want to post or reply without character limits without the account tied to Hubot being tied to an admin account itself. It would be a user account that is validated by staff but without additional privileges itself.
The current way of doing this is to mark the bot account as an admin to bypass the post limits, but also gives the user account way too much power than it actually needs. This proposal would make it possible to scale down the permissions to that of a normal user, just with the additional post limits lifted.
