How to be a regular?

[LineLiar]

You’re a moderator and I said member, that doesn’t count! Even if it did, you’re far from as active as I am.

I think the statement is still valid.

[Jediwolf]

fine, almost every

[chizbejoe]

Just cause @EvoGamer doesn’t post doesn’t mean he isn’t active (when it comes to his moderating).

[LineLiar]

Not what I said either. I doubt he checks the forum as much as I do every day.

Still, he’s a good guy, but he won’t rob me of my title!

[CrumpDev]

Yes but there are some things you just don’t say.

Let’s end this.

Regular (3)

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

They can get to trust level 3 by…

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

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%

of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25%

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), 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. 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.

Admins can change these thresholds in…

leader_requires_days_visited
leader_requires_topics_replied_to
leader_requires_topics_viewed
leader_requires_posts_read
leader_requires_max_flagged

leader_promotion_min_duration (grace period)

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 (we remove automatic nofollow)
spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately reach the action threshold
Daily like limit increased by 2 ×
