I dont have it. I used to be a regular. What is going on?

I did a bit of digging.

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

I need to read more topics and give out more likes to earn regular, it appears.

For sure I’ve gotten enough likes.

How is this supposed to help “regular” (as in normal, not “trusted regular”) folks be able to edit typos in their own posts?

They’re never going to address that.

Not saying this to be mean…just if this hasn’t been solved in several months…it never will be.

[conan]

So this means I can fix my spelling?

Cool…not that it’s going to help much.

Well damn yes…Yes I can.

[conan]

I’m just going to flag it and leave it up to you.

[Snow96]

Be aware, editing others posts is grounds for a long term ban from the board

[conan]

Oops, I did test on post 7…poking fun at FreeAndClear.

[hwyflier]

Right, so Why does only Calirepub have abilities that some of us don’t. This all seems to be quite random.

[Girl_from_Ipanema]

Wait. A poe can edit their posts, but long time members can’t?

[JayJay]

I don’t understand why we do not simply give everyone back the right to edit their posts, with just the admonition you laid down- if you abuse it by editing others’ posts, you’re out.

Is this too difficult?

[Girl_from_Ipanema]

I appear to have met whatever milestone is necessary to gain the ability to edit my own posts by making them a wiki.

This makes them editable by the rest of the board, which sparks some ideas for group participation posts, or wikis, but if using it to edit our own posts, we should set the post we want to edit to wiki, do the edit, then turn off the wiki again to avoid others editing it later.

[calirepub]

I’m a long time member of this board. Sorry.

[calirepub]

I would never edit another person’s posts.

However, it’s really weird that option is available. I don’t like it.

[Forcefield]

I was just testing what seemed to be a weird bug that everyone else was editing. No malicious intent. Won’t happen again.

[calirepub]

I deleted that post because I got tired of getting notifications whenever someone edited. I know it was fun for awhile, but it got old for me.

Well now we can’t undo our edits and we’re all gonna get banned and it’s all yer fault.

[calirepub]

But i’m going to be fine. I didn’t fall into the temptation of editing other people’s posts, like all of you sinners.

JUDGE NOT

[GWH]

You’re good. That warning was for the open forum.

@GWH

You’re good. That warning was for the open forum.

I don’t want to edit anyone elses posts.

Just my own.

(This is an test using Wiki function.)
