> Nice idea. Since we use an external SSO provider, we create accounts at TL1 automatically. I changed the site setting for approve unless trust level to 1 so this approach will be possible. Thanks!

Assuming you don’t have that many troublesome TL1 (and lower) users, I would reconsider leaving the setting at “unless 0” and manually setting (and locking) the troublesome user’s TL to 0 as suggested

> Not directly. You could require moderation for all TL0-posts and then lock that user on that trust level, but that forces you to moderate all posts from new users.
