Ah! Good to know that you can at least have some gradation between Trust Level 0 and Trust Level 1-4. Thank you.

I know that there’s a lot of site settings so keeping the naming consistent across everything is probably a lot harder than it sounds, but would it make sense to rename `newuser max replies per topic` → `newuser max consecutive replies per topic` so that it came up alongside `max consecutive replies` when searching?

If I’m reading the description text right, that would also describe what the setting actually _does_. The phrasing `new user max replies per topic` makes it sound like it’s a hard cap regardless of if someone else has replied to the new user.

Lastly, I do still think there’s a case to be made for allowing admins to move a consecutive reply limit increase behind Trust Level 2-4 instead of just Trust Level 1, but I understand that’s a rather niche request and it wades into discussion about the “new user” → Trust Level 1 distinction which is kind of handled as a special case and is a much bigger topic!
