Hi! I was writing a new reply to a thread, but I was blocked from doing so because I am a new user and new users are limited to two URLs per post. Could this limit be lifted to something more moderate, perhaps 5-10?

How about removing the limitation all together?

@jwf I changed your “trust level”:

@GeorgLink good call, let me see how I can do that. Is this possible @erlend_sh?

It’s the `newuser max links` setting. I set it to 10.

Could we allow users to edit their own posts and comments? By default, you need to be a “Trust Level 3 — Regular” [Understanding Discourse Trust Levels](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/)

> Admins can change these thresholds by searching for TL3 in site settings.
