Question about trust levels

[TheWeirdYT (someguy)]

I should have trust level 3 (regular) but…
I dont even have trust level 2.
Is there anything i’ve been reading wrong or have the thresholds been changed?

Aren’t you already a member?

Your Basic isn’t replaced, if you scroll down, you can see the Member.

Oh lol, thx for pointing that out. What about trust 3? Does my account have to be 100 days old (i already have 50 days of logging into this site), or is it another condition that i dont confirm to?

@Jeff Atwood - Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

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 non-PM 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 or silenced in the last 6 months

* 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.

These are the requirements. Note that only five users obtained Trust Level 3 / Regular without receiving Trust Level 4 / Leader from Rofle beforehand.

Also, I’m pretty sure Trust Level 3 / Regular is manually assigned since so few people have it.

Doesnt seem so.


Seems like Geolindrag got regular badge on the exact day that he reached 50 days visited, which im pretty sure isnt a coincidence. Either it is a coincidence or i’m missing one of the requirements. It may be since his account has been alive for over 100 days which might be required.

[FAdadadada]

I think you may be right, so I’ll re-edit my earlier post. It almost took me many months to get
Trust Level 3 / Regular, therefore I assumed it was manually assigned. However, looking over the requirements again, giving likes to others is necessary to get Trust Level 3 / Regular.
I don’t give many likes. . .

[Madofado]

Not entirely related, but I was trying to get Regular as well, but my likes given don’t seem to be going up, even though I’m liking posts a lot. It’s stayed at 880 for like the past 50 likes or so.
