Except nobody will raise a flag. In the proposal, users of a young community have TL2 plus vote to close and edit (which are ordinarily TL3). This means that nobody will suggest edits or raise flags because they can just VTC or edit a post directly. It also means that once young community status ends, nobody except moderators hand-picked by platform admins will have TL3 because nobody will have raised any flags nor suggested any edits. Should we add “not enough active users have been given TL3 by a platform admin” to the criteria to hold a community in young community state past 20 days?
And yes, @manassehkatz, there will be a lot of moderation needed on day one, even if only to create tags so that users can ask questions in the first place. In manassehkatz’s reply to “MVP Proposal: User Trust and Reward System”, it was suggested to make tag creation a TL3 privilege. But again, a young community will have zero TL3 users except those promoted by a platform admin. A site not seeded with an SE import will begin with zero tags, and zero tags mean zero questions.
