The Trust Level System

Regular (3)

Regulars are the most active readers and reliable contributors over long periods of time.

You can get to trust level 3 by…

This is time and activity based, unlike the previous levels.
In the last 100 days you…

  • must have visited at least 50% of days

  • must have replied to at least 10 different topics

  • of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)

  • of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)

  • must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*

  • must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)

  • must not have been suspended

*These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), and across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.

All of these must be true.

Unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements, whether from flagging or the passage of time, you will be demoted to ‘Member (Level 2)’. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.

Users at trust level 3 can…

  • recategorize and rename topics

  • access a private “frequent flier’s lounge” category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher

  • have all their links followed

  • spam flags cast on ‘Trust Level 0’ user posts immediately hide the post

  • flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts

  • make your own posts wiki

  • Daily like limit increased by 2 ×
