Oh I see, so you can’t use anon mode at all until you are a certain trust level?

Hmm. One thing I don’t like about this is that you have to know the site setting exists, and to change it, versus **automatic inheritance of current trust level** which

- works all the time out of the box, zero config required
- does not add a site setting

I still favor automatic inheritance of current trust level. It’s the least surprising thing, yes there is a minor downside with counting the number of users at TL2 or TL3, but them’s the breaks.
