Thread title editing is still a problem, could you change it pls @sean

sean · 2016-12-19T21:17:35.685Z

I can’t. There isn’t an option that I can see!

ericthefourth · 2016-12-19T21:21:02.120Z

it worked previously, you must have changed something. just change it back.

sean · 2016-12-19T21:22:32.095Z

It was just that 0 and 1 trust level users couldn’t edit anything, I think.

The only way is to get rid of the edit button which allows no editing whatsoever.

ericthefourth · 2016-12-19T21:23:08.861Z

thread title editing is the only kind of editing which works anyway!! at least get rid of that

sean · 2016-12-19T21:38:34.618Z

Ok. I’ve hidden the edit button. Does that solve it?

ericthefourth · 2016-12-19T21:41:27.278Z

#you can’t stop people editing titles

See here

1101010:

Right, @sean unfortunately you can’t actually change the ability for Regular users to edit post titles or categories. This thread explains in detail how users become Regulars and what they can do (and also how they would become Leaders). It’s fairly detailed and technical. So Sean, you may as well bring back the few minutes of grace to edit posts after posting. … Just making an edit to see if we’re still locked to 1 in every 24 hours … Second edit.

The only way is to move everyone down a user level and then make it impossible to get to that level.

If you manually promote users they can then edit things.

Meanwhile no one can edit stuff now, not even mods, so you need to undo this. Sorry.

what kind of a busted ass forum is this

1101010 · 2016-12-20T18:03:24.518Z

I’ll have to post the Rogue One thread for them. They literally do not seem to have heard of the concept of people being both good forum members and mischievous…

Oh no! Must be a nightmare seeing a number in a blue circle in the top right of your screen. Thoughts are with you.

well, that sounds like the most sensible solution?

Thanks Lonzy! glad someone has some sympathy

Editing Titles in Discourse

It should be in the edit history of the first post. You’d have to know which topics are making users mad and see if there is a common person involved

Editing Titles in Discourse

TL4 is manual by default. TL3 should be hard. Here we have only ~30 TL3 users in a 23k user base with 1.6k active. You have 153 TL3 with 850 active users (17%), maybe raise reqs a bit.

ericthefourth · 2016-12-30T08:44:20.866Z

it’s finally sorted! cheers @sean

1101010 · 2016-12-30T17:19:21.069Z

Bang on, I guess.
