Because we are striving to create a community of value, we are using activity based Trust Levels. Every level gives access to more features.
Access Level 0 (TL0)
Any new member starts here and limits access to some basic functions, for example PMās.
Basic: TL1
Weāre not explaining how to get promoted. Any user should get TL1 fairly quick.
TL1 removes TL0 limitations, allows PM, allows uploading images, allows you to edit wiki posts & you can report posts to moderators.
Member: TL2
Some requirements are:
- Visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially
- Received at least 10 likes
- Replying to at least 3 different topics - please do not reply to reply.
- Entered at least 20 topics & read at least 100 posts
TL2 users can:
- Access more private sections
- Use shared drafts feature (chads or contributor group needed)
- Use the āInvite others to this topicā button for one-click onboarding of new users to participate in topics
- Invite outside users to PMs making a group PM
- Ignore other users
- Edit their own posts for up to 30 days after posting
- Use @here to tag 10 users who replied to a topic
Regular: TL3
This is the highest level and only the most contributing users will ever reach it & hold it. Yes, you can get demoted to TL2.

- Must have visited at least 50% of days

TL3 users get the following privileges:

- A 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)
