Discourse "Trust Levels" / limitations and permissions for new/active/old users

we talked about disabling titles / restrictions etc for this forum when setting it up.

there is quite a lot of menus in the admin panel tho, and it is hard to see from here what the site enforces at lower levels --> so thanks for pointing these things out @pixelflowers

i just changed a few settings that should help -> new users should start at trustlevel==3

updating all existing users to this trust level was a little more involved but is done now too

for the record i ssh’d into the droplet, and ran:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
discourse backup
rails c 
users=User.where("admin=false and trust_level<3")
users.update_all(trust_level: 3)

always happy to improve this site where we can :slight_smile:
