This is also what I would do:

- Min trust to send PMs: trust level 1
- Trust level of difficult user 0

I think when you manually set a trust level it doesn’t promote, but might be wrong.

Also, because they are flagged you could utlise this, and make pms available at TL3 and TL4

@osioke It might be more achievable to just create ☝ this for tl2, tl1 and tl0? Then if you have a tl0 user who has had 3 flags in the time period they don’t get promoted to PM privileges – essentially removing the manual work.
