New User Sandbox and the Trust System
Since the bulletin board is open to the public, the forum has a trust system where users can, over time, earn the trust of the community and gain abilities to assist in governing their community. The automatically assigned user levels are described below:
0 (new) → 1 (basic) → 2 (member) → 3 (regular) → 4 (leader)
All new users start out in a sandbox with restrictions for everyone’s safety. Trust level 0 (new) users cannot …
- post more than 2 hyperlinks
- post any images or file attachments
- send private messages
- flag posts or topics
- have actual links in the “about me” field of their profile
- @name mention more than 2 users in a post
Virtually every action a user can take is rate limited for safety, and especially so for new users. But new users can transition to trust level 1 in about 15 minutes.
