Snow96:

should be pinned to top of the community feedback forum until july 31 now. Wouldn’t let me do it without entering a date to unpin.

Thanks Snow! I feel this thread has been really useful.

I failed. I don’t have a little wrench icon. Spellcheck and proofreading, you’re my only hope.

You might not be a level 3 poster yet. It has some prerequisites.

Bummer. Can’t I be grandfathered in? I’ve been coming to this party for just short of forever. Maybe I ought to post more often. Or bribe a mod.

I posted this earlier in the thread, but here it is again.

Discourse – 25 Jun 18

Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

The user trust system is a fundamental cornerstone of Discourse. Trust levels are a way of…

Trust Level 3 — Regular

Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.

To get to trust level 3, 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% (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), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.

All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back 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.

Users at trust level 3 can…

recategorize and rename topics
access a secure category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
TL3 flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts
make their own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users)
Daily like limit increased by 2×

Admins can change these thresholds by searching for TL3 in site settings.

Seems like a lot of work. I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing. Maybe I’ll achieve this elusive level three, maybe I won’t. I’m living stress free, baby, and I’ma gonna keep it that way.

calirepub · 2018-07-13T00:57:34.065Z

We could copy paste his post into a new thread? I would do it, but i don’t want to step out of bounds… You must suspend me again!!!

You keep doing what you do. Editing posts is overrated anyways.

Edit: no it isn’t. It’s awesome.

Want him to get the credit

calirepub · 2018-07-13T00:59:21.172Z

He deserves it for sure.

NotoriousNik · 2018-07-13T01:00:11.858Z

‘Tis typos that make us huuuman.

calirepub · 2018-07-13T01:00:47.736Z

WorldWatcher · 2018-07-13T01:08:43.884Z

Snow96:

Can you make a stand alone post (aka new thread) with the instruction on wiki. I can pin it to the top of every forum

Done

Credit doesn’t go to me. It goes to @Girl_from_Ipanema. She ID’d the process.

well apprently “global pinning” does go into each sub category

Girl_from_Ipanema · 2018-07-13T01:14:50.042Z

Thank you, WW. It was @calirepub who found the feature. All I did was see if it could be turned off after editing.

This was a group effort, ask cali, she got hammered with notifications while everyone ‘tested’ it out.

calirepub · 2018-07-13T01:19:27.605Z

Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

GWH · 2018-07-13T03:02:15.864Z

You’re there. I’m changing everyone, but it takes time I don’t often have anymore. Try to get everyone else by tomorrow that was level 2.

calirepub · 2018-07-13T03:04:51.681Z

Wait, are you saying that i earned level 3 for nothing? If everyone gets it I’m not going to be special anymore…

Can I have a special title or something? Like, Super Awesome Poster Don’t Mess With Her?

Maybe that’s too long.

Maybe just, Banana???

I like bananas.

GWH · 2018-07-13T03:06:34.644Z

Banana and peanut butter sandwiches are good, super awesome poster don’t mess with her.

calirepub · 2018-07-13T03:06:54.074Z

You are so right!
