#### Feature name

Trust level freeze

#### Feature description

1. Occurs when the user does not want their trust level to increase. Because he knows that as the level of trust increases, he will have more and more responsibilities. There are users like me who just want to be regular users and not users as leaders.
2. Another interesting fact would be to freeze the trust level for users who somehow act strangely, not acting in accordance with the security policy of the community. That way, they will always be basic users or regular users. And so it will have a higher level of restriction, security since users with the trust level freeze cannot raise the trust level.
3. Often you want to freeze users without necessarily having to close the account.

#### Reasons for implementing the feature

1. Make Discourse’s security level more secure
2. Freeze certain users who don’t follow the community policy for some reason and thus cannot receive a higher level of trust. Many systems or software when the user violates some rule, usually the account is closed or is frozen. Here would be the case of account freezing. There may be an account freeze time, maybe 1 day or 1 year.
3. It’s a security measure.
4. The user can request that they want to be frozen. Maybe because the user may not want, like me, to be the leader of something.
5. Twitter uses the term as a suspended account. Usually the account is suspended for this: spam, account security at risk, tweets or abusive behavior. In my opinion it would not be a suspended account, it would be a frozen account. The user still has the possibility to use the account, it is not suspended.

#### references

1. I searched Discourse and didn’t find much related to this idea.
2. If there is any related idea, the best would be to merge that idea.
3. If anyone can read and pass on the feedback I would appreciate it.
