Feature Request: Automatic promotion to basic user

Meta
1

A thread dominated by people wanting to contact recruiters. Another:

Most of these are TL0 users and cannot PM.

So my solution: Automatic promotion to TL1. Why? Because then they can contact recruiters and we aren’t left with this mess.

Thoughts please…

Good idea I would say…

I’d stay with the way it is right now because they should get to know the forum at least a little before they can PM anyone. Also posts by users that are TL0 that get flagged by a regular will get hidden immediately which is some extra security for our forum. This would be lost with this feature

My suggestion is too keep this feature, this is allow more users to interact with the community (on their way in getting TL1).

@dush19 however there must be people signing up just to go for Advanced ATC; surely we’d rather have people who sign up to contribute in discussions? I mean I can easily read 10 posts and 5 topics in under 30s (my daily run through the features category.)

Maybe allow TL0s to PM others?

They could probably use the tutorials here so I say we keep it as it is

@Boeing707 the obvious answer, but I don’t think that can be enabled?

It can, the admins can personalize this forum according to their needs.

Guys if you’re a new user I think it is possible to PM it just doesn’t show up on other peoples profile. I think you need to go into your inbox and there will be a “new message” option.

In one of the multiple times I’ve requested a “duplicate topic” flag option, I was told that code has to be changed but it is possible. Why it hasn’t happened is a mystery to me, but since it works for flags, I suppose it could work for TLs.

Heck, the devs changed the TL requirements recently.

There are only certain things customizable by the admins. Discourse devs could change the code but that isn’t an easy/quick thing since discourse software is so widely used now. Visit meta.discourse.org for questions with the forum software.

Regarding the OP, the limits to become a basic user could be decreased. See this post for details:

@AR_AR they could edit the code in the IF forum website only, but that would either:

  1. cost the devs money
  2. take ages
  3. might not be able to do it (not got the staff)

Hi,

I think you got the wrong topic. This is to do with the forum. Have a look at this:
