Discussed here: https://matrix.to/#/!0hQX7RWvN1Bj3twFQR:tomfos.tr/$1spIKgMcjsJ72zD_qVOb8EqjBZgySvTYwVGwp4_ejd0?via=nexy7574.co.uk&via=tomfos.tr&via=explodie.org

"User trust levels" could be a useful tool to allow smaller homeserver deployments to manage new user signups by manually (and automatically?) assigning a trust level to users.
For example, new users could have a trust level of 0, which prevents them uploading media, restricts them to joining a handful of rooms, and may apply some stricter ratelimits.
Then, an admin can increase their trust level (or automatically? after a predetermined number of factors are reached) to lift these restrictions.

Ideally, trust levels would be fully configurable, including what restrictions are placed on each level.
