The user trust system is a fundamental cornerstone of Discourse. Trust levels are a way of… Sandboxing new users in your community so that they cannot accidentally hurt themselves, or other users while they are learning what to do. Granting experienced users more rights over time, so that they can help everyone maintain and moderate…
That’s a good point, the terminology could be clearer… what it means is you need a minimum number of different TL3 users to cast the flag on the same post for it to take effect. In other words, you need consensus from multiple TL3 users.
What is the idea behind the “Post more than 1 image” limitation for new users?
If I create a spam entry it actually does not matter if this entry contains 1 or 5 images or even one large image which shows the same content as 5 small ones.
You don’t get a warning about this limitation during the creation of a topic and It is frustrating for new users to compose a long thread just to find out at the end that you are not allowed to post it.
It’s a thing that spammers do, and discourse does a bunch of stuff to thwart spammers by default. If you know better for your community and want to police it, You can change newuser max embedded media.
We are new to Discourse and would like to learn more about the Trust system. One leading question is our ability - as admins - to disable it fully or partially. What options exist for that?
One scenario: someone’s english is not great so they are liked less frequently than fluent English speakers and move up more slowly or not at all due to low numbers of likes.
The good news is that we’ve already accounted for communities that are stingy with likes, and the like requirements are extremely low for everything except TL3
You could modify the trust level promotion requirements to make it impossible for a user to reach. Then admins would have to manually promote users to different trust levels. There’s also a site setting to give new users a trust level other than TL0. Be very careful changing that setting, especially if signups are public, as it makes it much easier for spammers to mess with the site.
Hi Joel! We are going to be making changes soon to the invite to topic feature so that it uses our newly improved invite system, instead of having its own separate UI that tries to accommodate existing users as well as email addresses of people who are not yet users. We are also prioritizing simplifying the invite system as much as possible along the lines of what discord and other similar platforms are doing.
Can you elaborate a bit on your use case? Are you using the feature as it exists now, or are there specific improvements you are hoping to see?
For now, TL2 users and above can indeed use the invite to topic feature at the bottom of topics to invite people to the topic, whether or not the people they are inviting are users on the site already or not. I just tested it and this is how it functions. (It reflects the min trust level to allow invite admin setting which is TL2 by default)
The new invite system, accessed via your user profile menu, allows only admins to specify a topic to send the invitee to upon login, as well as groups to add them to.
I’m not really following your question. Trust levels aren’t generally skipped - a user will progress from one to the next as they meet the requirements. Users will receive a badge when they reach a new trust level, plus a PM for certain promotions. A user’s current trust level can also been seen on their profile.
I’m assuming you’re talking about another site - not meta.discourse.org. This post covers the default requirements to move between trust levels. Site admins can modify these requirements, making them higher or lower. It is also possible for an admin or moderator to lock a user’s trust level. You’ll need to reach out to the staff of the site in question for more details.
I’m going to assume you’re talking about https://talk.frt.to/. They use the Discourse software, yes. However, as I mentioned above:
Even though FRTTO uses Discourse software doesn’t mean they haven’t modified the default settings. You’ll want to contact one of the staff members listed at https://talk.frt.to/about, or use the email under Contact Us to chat with them.

Ciao. Mi sono registrato a questo forum perché sono interessato a questo argomento, dato che sono un utente di un forum spagnolo piuttosto popolare basato su Discourse.
Sono registrato in quel forum da più di 4 anni. Sono ancora un utente base (livello 1). Ci sono utenti che ottengono lo stato di membro (livello 2) in 1 anno, nonostante abbiano statistiche molto più basse delle mie (numero di post, like, tempo di lettura, ecc. molto più basso). E poiché l’amministratore di quel forum spagnolo mi ignora quando gli chiedo del sistema di fiducia, ho fatto un po’ di ricerche e ho finito per trovare questo forum.
La mia domanda è: l’amministratore di un forum Discourse può, ad esempio, bloccare intenzionalmente la progressione di utenti specifici per costringerli a rimanere ai livelli di fiducia 0-1, o aumentare le sue soglie a livelli ridicoli per bloccare efficacemente quell’utente specifico dal progredire ai livelli successivi? Grazie!
