  • I will provide an answer to this question in the context of [this, now delete question](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287589) which included this relevant text before being edited and removed:
  • > How to implement a variable trust-based privileges system, so that there are always the same number of users with the top trust level and an exponentially higher number on the lower levels?
  • It would be [similar to Discourse](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/) but with a fixed amount of users at the top so that the server admin only has to moderate those users to shape what he wants the website to be like.
  • IMO, the problem with this question is that it sounds more like a business requirement than a programming question. There is no need to provide code, but at least to dive into the considered solutions, some pseudocode or similar.
  • This corresponds to the first off-topic reason inside [What type of questions can I ask here](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic) section:
  • > **Asking for implementations** of a certain feature or a whole homework assignment. You should include your (partially working) attempts in the post
