### New User Sandbox and the Trust System
|
||||
|
||||
Discourse is designed to offer safe defaults for communities, even if you set up the site and walk away from it forever. There is a [trust system in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924/2) where regular users automatically earn abilities to assist in governing the community as they actively participate in it over time.
|
||||
|
||||
All new users start out at trust level zero, in a trust sandbox with restrictions for their safety and everyone else's safety. **Trust level zero users _cannot_** …
|
||||
|
||||
- post more than 2 hyperlinks
|
||||
- post any images or file attachments
|
||||
- send private messages
|
||||
- flag posts or topics
|
||||
- have actual links in the "about me" field of their profile
|
||||
- @name mention more than 2 users in a post
|
||||
|
||||
There are also a lot of rate limits around how many actions new users can take.
|
||||
|
||||
These defaults are indeed safe for the Internet out of the box, but they may be too conservative for your site:
|
||||
|
||||
- If you are pre-vetting users, or your site is private and you approve all new users manually, you can set everyone's `default trust level` to 1.
|
||||
|
||||
- You can individually adjust these conservative default new user restrictions. Search the settings for `newuser`. Two settings we see commonly adjusted are `newuser max images` and `newuser max replies per topic`.
