Start a discussion without selecting a tag

mekici

In Flarum beta 16, a discussion can be started without selecting a tag. Was this problem fixed on RC 1? I tried localhost and I can start a discussion without selecting the tag. There is no such problem at discuss.flarum.org.

mekici Confirmed. This is real. Live server.

This was fixed In beta 16 (RC 1) where a bypass tag requirements permission was introduced.

If both of you are on beta 16 (RC 1) and have successfully created a discussion without tags, then that's most likely because you are admins and thus have permission.

SychO I noticed today that an ordinary user started a discussion in the forum without selecting a tag.
I tried it now and tried it with a non-admin user but I couldn't create a discussion without selecting a tag. However, how the user I mentioned did, I could not understand.

SychO Yep, I was logged in as an admin. I can confirm a regular user cannot bypass. We're good!

Still, one could argue that even an admin shouldn’t be able to do this... Posting within at least one tag should be required if that is what is set within the settings. Even for an admin. Why would an admin want to bypass that? Having a discussion categorized/tagged is essential Flarum behavior. But, I suppose we could debate little things like this back and forth forever. 😜

askvortsov

mekici could the user be in a group that allows bypassing tag counts?

mekici

askvortsov no user is never in a specific group.
