Codidact will have a system of trust levels for user actions. These trust levels are based on specific site activity, not achieving specific reputation scores.
Numbers shown in bold are the defaults for full, active sites. We will also support a scaling factor for "small" or "new" sites, so privileges are achievable.
All changes to trust levels are logged.
This is the level of trust for brand new users. Not MVP: Contains a "new contributor" label.
- May post 3 questions per day, but no more often than one every 60 minutes.
- May post any number of answers, but no more often than one every 15 minutes.
- May comment infinitely on own questions/answers.
- May upvote answers to own questions.
- May flag answers and comments on their posts, but have no more than 3 pending flags in two days.
(See these suggestions on messaging about rate limits.)

There was discussion somewhere of an either/or approach to flags and edits, but I can't find it right now.

This is the only trust level not based on site-specific activity. It is granted to instance-level administrators when needed to carry out actions that cannot be (or are not being) carried outre by site moderators. It is not a permanent trust level; instance-level admins are "regular" users most of the time.
- May adjust Trust Levels of all TL2-5s.
