#2970 new idea

Allow only topic authors and users who can moderate to add/remove tags from a topic

Description

I believe regular participants shouldn't be able to just remove any topics existing tags, or that new users replying should be able to add any additional tags to a topic. Doesn't make sense to me.

I am not sure if this was a bug that was never identified before or normal behavior. I just feel it should be changed to what the title describes.

Yay or Nay Guys?

Participants shouldn't be able to remove, edit, or delete topic tags, if they can then this is a bug

Replying to Robkk:

or that new users replying should be able to add any additional tags to a topic. Doesn't make sense to me.

Participants can add topic tags though

Spammers frequently add spammy topic tags to replies though when spamming a reply the topic tags added by that reply should also be removed.

So... I bet this is by design, because of old bbPress. Consider how anyone can add the mod-look tag, etc...

The bug is currently that the caps don't accurately reflect the behavior of wp_set_object_terms().

Which is also to say, the current functionality to allow all users the ability to modify tags is intentional.

I do think that cascading these caps downwards, and restricting things like this to the capabilities of forum or topic "moderators" is a great idea, though!

Still think this is a good idea. I haven't thought about it in a while, but we should work this out for a future release.
