Hi

How do you restrict users so that they can’t change each other’s topic title or can’t perform merging?

Thanks

Users gain these capabilities when they reach trust level 3. If you want to change the conditions for trust level 3 to be higher (or unattainable), you can do so within the _Trust Levels_ section in the _Settings_ tab in the admin area 🙂

Thanks for response.  
Which specific setting under trust level?

Need users to be able to edit only their own, but not others. Thanks

If you want to completely disable trust level 3 promotions, the recommended way is to set `tl3 requires days visited` higher than `tl3 time period`.
