Basic Trust Level Guide

If you go to your user profile, you can click/tap the “Badges” label to show all the badges you’ve earned.

I imagine T4 can be lost as well?

Of course, but this would based upon the staff… If they no longer see you fit for T4 then I’d imagine they would demote you.

How come yours is strormguard xal?

I don’t feel comfortable with the TL3 permissions…

Though the requirements seem fairly challenging to meet, it still seems weird that they even have almost-mod-like powers, ie. Re-categorizing/renaming topics and spam-flagging to hide posts.

I just don’t like the idea that basically anyone who’s active on the forums -regardless of how good their judgement is- can do these things.

Because that was my old rank on the old forum and you can pick a rank.

Broadly speaking there is stuff that feeds in here such as moderators agreeing with their decisions, and that we can cap particular people at and trust level we think is appropriate that minimises the risks of this.

But then, wouldn’t it just be better for the TL3 thing to just be an invisible rank that the mods can look at to make considerations about bestowing these powers rather than just flat out giving them?

Thats what T4 is - the T3 powers are very limited in scope - T4 is pretty much all but title.

They’re limited, sure, but they still exist, which is my main concern. Just letting anyone who’s on the forums a lot to have those powers seems a bit off.

But again - its not just based on being on the forums a lot - its based on being on the forums a lot and acting in community positive ways that earns you TL3.

Look you may be right - but its a fair while before we will get our first TL3 so lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

wait so i think i saw flagging for the requirements for t3?!? so do i have to flag occasionally to keep my status?

i dont like to flag >_>

No, you can only recieve 5 flags before losing T3 status
