disable user posts to main #556

Closed xrpd closed 8 years ago

xrpd commented 8 years ago

This is intended to resolve issue #549

can_submit for main now always returns False for non-admins. Because of this, main is disabled as a submit option in the drop down menu in newlink.html. I changed the reason to "(Posting to main is currently disabled)" instead of "(Your karma must be at least 40 to post here)."

I tested in the vagrant vm using admin, high karma and low karma users.

Have you looking into how this interracts with editing?

Admins and moderators can always edit articles in main, but not normal users - not even article authors. I'll ask if this acceptable, and update the PR if not.

@wezm, @vaniver indicated interest in allowing user edits to to existing posts in the main subreddit. I added a new PR #557 that includes that functionality. I made it a new PR, since it seems to me that a policy debate could still possibly favor #556. If #557 is accepted, #556 should be rejected.

Agree that #557 is the desired option instead of #556. (I haven't tested #557 myself.)
