As theres 100 days in a month
Level 3 is granted to help hosting perms with PMs, edit restriction and other things.
Thatās why I was given it, anyway.
like on m451?
I donāt really see that much of a reason for it
unless like specific things only people with the āhostingā group can do
which I donāt really see the need for because a lot of people end up hosting or cohosting games anyways
Iāve done research, and talked to the other mods, about creating a hosting group.
Itās unfortunately not possible on discourse to give groups specific permissions such as locking your own thread.
Itās basically all-or-nothing. Itās giving a player permission to edit all posts, lock all threads, and pin all threads, or none of these.
Discourse is extremely lame in this aspect. Itās not as customizable as it seems.
I have been trying to find a plugin that allows for this grouping but have yet to find anything that isnāt extremely sketchy and unreliable.

Yeah, thatās why I suggest it
ABility to lock threads
Ability to unlock threads
ect
ect
I donāt think allowing people to lock all threads + unlock all threads is nessecarily a massive security risk with logging; itās reversable unless you mean itās bundled with other perms so to enable locking threads you have to also enable deletion of posts and stuff
it would be great
if we could all lock threads
but that just
would not end up working
(and if we can all type through threadlock it loses itās purpose)
we all know ālocking own thread super goodā but have not found a way to actually do that
Itās a lot of power.
But I do trust that a lot of people wouldnāt abuse it or play back-seat moderator.
Like if I got Level 4 for hosting purposes the only threads I would lock are my own games.
Tbh I may take it up as a side-gig to attempt to create a plugin like this, but I still cannot guarantee a hosting group will be a thing. I donāt want to get hopes up.
Unfortunately that isnāt up to us. The forum is run and owned by a company, and we canāt make extreme decisions like this.
I will attempt, but once again, I cannot guarantee.

I think it is very very unlikely that Xblade would agree to āletās give a bunch of random unvetted forum people TL4ā even if those people are in fact completely responsible

Would giving community guides abilities to lock/unlock threads be bad
Because the main issue with it is that all moderators are in the same timezone
I wish we could just
lock and unlock our own thread
that solves
almost all of the problems that exist with thread locking

Potentially reasonable solutions
- Chloe moves to Scotland
- A new moderator in EU/Asia timezone comes along
- Community Guides are given lock/unlock permissions
Are any of these reasonable
