Like other community sites based on Discourse, we use trust levels.
What are trust levels? If you know the wider software development community, the name Jeff Attwood will probably be familiar to you.
Well, we can’t better his explanation.
So read the blog, take your time, we’ll still be here when you get back. If you wish to see the discussions on the blog, they’re in the associated Discourse topic.
There is also a table of trust levels in the Discourse FAQs.
This is a summary of what can be done in each category:
