Locking at Trust Level 0

Hello,

We have a user locked at trust level 0. I know that there are posting limits for users at TL0, but I’m having a hard time discerning whether the post limits are comprehensive, or per day.

This post indicates that the limit is not on the total amount of posts:

But this post seems to suggest that it’s actually a limit overall.

I am hoping that the post restrictions for TL0 could be on a per-day basis, not overall, as I can’t find any other method with which to restrict the amount that some users post without affecting all users. But, I can’t quite get a clear picture of how specifically TL0 users are restricted.

  • TL0 users are subject to “first day” limits after account creation. These are:
    • max_topics_in_first_day (default: 3)
    • max_replies_in_first_day (default: 10)These restrict the number of topics/replies a user can make in the first 24 hours after their first post. Afterward, these limits no longer apply.
  • Per-topic restrictions for TL0:
    • newuser_max_replies_per_topic (default: 3) — Maximum replies allowed by a new user in a single topic before someone else responds. This is to prevent topic spamming, not overall posting.
  • No overall or permanent cap on total posts for TL0 users. After the initial “first day” period, TL0 users are governed by general site-wide limits (max_topics_per_day etc.), not a TL0-specific hard cap.
