Different "Post settings" for each user group

[ghost]

In mentioned section "Post & topics / Post settings" there are settings which would be great to have adjustable based on users group.

Settings like:

• Time required between posts from the same IP
• Courtesy edit wait time
• Maximum time after posting to allow edit

Use case: We would love to give our trusted users a bit more freedom but still keep them away from messing forum settings.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @SGOrava , thanks for the suggestion.
I see the use case and I agree.
That said, making these settings groups-based could be quite tricky, especially when it comes to mixing groups and the intent behind the group itself.
For example you could have this situation:

• group 1 => normal users => wait time 10 minute
• group 2 => loyal users => wait time 1 minute
• group 3 => tricky users => wait time 20 minutes

If we assume the "lowest" wins then the setting for group 3 will never be used because group 1 would always win.
If we assume the "highest" wins then the setting for group 2 will never be used, again because group 1 will be the choice, unless you remove group 1 from the user.

So, in order to have something that works we'd need to delegate the overriding rules to the admin (providing also an interface to do so), and that would be not so easy. I think.

Hello emanuele45,

So, in order to have something that works we'd need to delegate the overriding rules to the admin (providing also an interface to do so)

That is how I would imagine it to work, admin could manually set the priority (number or some graphical UI) by which the rule would apply.

and that would be not so easy. I think.

I hope someone finds the time required to implement it.

Best regards.
