Currently, the trust level method is calculating trust level based on maximum value from:
- locked trust level
- group automatic trust level
- previously granted trust level by admin
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/trust_level.rb#L33
Let's say the user belongs to groups with automatic trust level 1 and in the meantime meets all criteria to get trust level 2.
Each time, a user is removed from a group with automatic trust_level 1, they will be downgraded to trust_level 1 and promoted to trust_level 2
120a2f70a9/lib/promotion.rb (L142)
This will cause duplicated promotion messages.
Therefore, we have to check if the user meets the criteria, before downgrading.
There is no need to validate the user's emails when
promoting/demoting their trust level, this can cause
issues in things like Jobs::Tl3Promotions, we don't
need to fail in that case when all we are doing is changing
trust level.
If a user was granted a trust level, joined a group that granted a trust
level and left the group, the trust level was reset. This commit tries
to restore the last known trust level before joining the group by
looking into staff logs.
This commit also migrates old :change_trust_level user history records
to use previous_value and new_value fields.
In 2018 check was added that TL1 welcome message is sent unless user already has BasicBadge granted.
I think we should also check if BasicBadge is even enabled. Otherwise, each time group is assigned to a user and trust level is recalculated, they will receive a welcome message.
This is a little bit of refactoring. Core Discourse should have default promotion message for TL2.
In addition, when the Discobot plugin is enabled, the user is invited to advanced training
This is causing issues when purging old users, if they are set up in the
exact condition where they will be demoted into another group, but also
do not have a primary email.
* PERF: Dematerialize topic_reply_count
It's only ever used for trust level promotions that run daily, or compared to 0. We don't need to track it on every post creation.
* UX: Add symbol in TL3 report if topic reply count is capped
* DEV: Drop user_stats.topic_reply_count column
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
Introduced badge triggers, introduced concept of badge that happens due to a post but has the post hidden
Delta badge grant happens once a minute, backed by redis
* rename `User#password_required` to `User#password_required!`
* emails with "i" @ something are a special case as well
* get rid of `self.` and returns where possible
* prefer "unless a" instead of "if !a"
* `unread_notifications` without manually iterating
* introduce `User#moderator?`
* introduce `TrustLevel#valid_key?`, `TrustLevel#compare`, and
`TrustLevel#level_key`
