I was just wondering, how many moderators are there in this forum? Not looking for names, just for a number.
I am asking because I moderate a totally unrelated forum and am just curious

Discourse based forums often donât have a dedicated âmoderatorâ title. Discourse uses a system called âtrust levelsâ to automatically Grant active members of the community administrative rights. I suppose anyone with a âRegularâ or âLeaderâ trust level would be a moderator on this forum. Currently there are 8 people with that badge (if you donât include the discobot)

AaaahhâŚthank you very much! In this case case, this is my first Discourse based forum, as I didnât know about this principle

HERE is the info on the trust levels.

you could just follow the exact same link @Satur9 already posted above
This forum doesnât really need moderators.
It has a friendly atmosphere, People come here for advice or to share knowledge and experience.
I think the wrong attitude benefit nobody.
Thatâs my thoughts on it anyway

A bit OT, but I have to say, Discourse is by far the best forum system Iâve ever used.
The only thing I miss from other systems is the ability to control how videos are embedded in a post - particularly for Dailymotion videos, that insist on serving inane videos after yours: you can disable their stupid up-next queue, but only through a GET parameter in the link, that Discourse doesnât give you the option of including manually.

They drive me up the wall.
Because of how their embedded videos work, they are set to auto-play the next video by default and the controls donât become visible right away⌠
I hate Dailymotion with a passion. But I hate Youtube even more. And Vimeo isnât much of an alternative, sadly.
So, pick your poison.

If thatâs the case, then Discourse shouldnât mess with it too hard⌠if you include it in the URL does it get scrubbed by Discourse or something?
Well, apparently Discourse simply extracts the video ID from the URL, determines itâs Dailymotion, and inserts its own HTML to embed the right player. It totally ignores the parameter.

The only thing that bugs me so far with discourse is the bloody like limit being a fixed number. I understand anti spam protection but I feel like it should scale with number of postâs read. Apparently I like about 10% of what I read and that seems reasonable but on dayâs when Iâm bored (like today) and go back to read some older posts I always hit my like limit.
I guess I could learn Ruby and offer up a patch that at least makes it an option.

Number of likes scales with your Trust Level in Discourse, reaching level 2 âMemberâ gives you more than a new user, and you get even more again at level 3 âRegularâ
Iâve never hit my maximum, but I see youâre a Member already, perhaps @amal can raise the limits? Spammers should still get stopped at Level 1 with most users unaffected

It does scale yeah (guess Iâll just have to hit regular), I think my main issue is I am a fast reader and they grant the likes gradually. Like I tried to like your post and I have 2 minutes before I get like 1 or 2 more. The annoying thing is âyou have run out of likesâ message doesnât work on mobile, the close button is off the screen 
so I have to swap to desktop mode or refresh.
EDIT: Speak of the devilâŚ

omg i went into settings and there are like (pun!), over 20 settings for âlikesâ⌠I just raised the max per day from 50 to 100 so maybe that will help.

Whatever you did seems to have worked. I have not hit any limits so far. Admittedly it could be I have read through and therefore liked less posts but I donât think so.
Either way thanks

Interestingly, I just noticed that the badges for doing 50 likes on X number of days are now for doing 100 likes a day.

I wonder if I can convince the âsneaky genieâ that being able to write pretty mathematics equations is a desirable feature.
