No, it’s the other way around. TL2 is a subset of TL1, not a superset.
I guess you meant to say “someone in TL2 is also in TL1 and TL0” but that is not the same thing.
No, that post says “people who are not logged in”.
Now not every person is a user, and not everyone who is “not logged in”, is “logged out”. So “people who are not logged in” does not equal “logged out users”
A “logged out user” implies that someone is actually a registered user, who was logged in at least once. Both are not accurate.
No, an “anon” can either be
a user, but not logged in
someone who never registered at all
So really, anon is a better term - someone who did not identify themselves.
Your “more practical terms” are causing confusion…
Discourse is over 12 years old. Even though not everything is 100% logical, people did actually think about these things.
Above, below… the order doesn’t mean nothing. When you are using everyone it includes everybody, including TL0 and TL4. You don’t need those higher TLs after everyone.
And same way. If your the lowest allowed group is TL0, it includes TL4 too, because every TL4 users are members of TL0 too.
You need different groups only if you want to limit rights of lower TLs. Like
everyone: read (even anons can read)
TL1: read, reply (TL0 can only read, TL1 and higher can reply)
TL4: read, reply, create (only TL4 can start a topic)
@RGJ and @Jagster
I appreciate you both taking the time to reply.
I just think, without trying to be rude or anything, that at this point you are just bringing more complexity, nitpicking words and things I say, to prove your point, when you and I are all saying the same thing, just with different words and examples.
It’s very tiring when you try to understand something, you share all the information, you share images, you make it as simple as possible, and other people keep going around in circles to say the same things I’ve been saying.
I asked a simple question on my previous reply, but I got no answer. That was the only thing I really wanted to know the answer to. That’s all.
Again, I’m sorry if I’m being too raw and maybe “rude”, but I’m just very tired of the nitpicking, which causes me to question if I’m going crazy, brings a lot of stress and confusion, when in the end I realize you just said what I said.
Thank you anyway and I hope we can have other (more) healthy debates over other things in the future.
