There have been some manual changes in titles and permissions too from what I see. Not going to comment on that though. Asking a few questions. Let me see if I can get any public answers.

Thanks. It would be nice to know the requirements now.
Not sure they will tell us. What you can do, if you want, is go look at the activity of each of the new folks and see what they have in common. See if you can find the lower limits on reads/likes/days visited. I know post count is not really part of it outside the first couple posts.
For read count, there is a new TL3 with 3.3K and another. For topics viewed, there is a 218. I’m just peeking at names that I do not recognize 
Ok, that is one data point. I know you have not parsed all that info yet! Your best chance at getting an answer is sorting it out yourself based off patterns.
And yes, they did lower requirements. I have that confirmed from contacts now.
Edit - I am going outside to read on the deck with a glass of wine. Your homework is an analysis of all the new folks and what you THINK the limits are. Preferably in a nice table format. Or not

I’m guessing 200 topics viewed and 3,000 posts read (100 day rolling average) with the other requirements left unchanged with the caveat that likes given are also on 100 day rolling average.
30 posts read per day? That would be very good if true. I’ll make some likes and we’ll see if I reclaim TL3.
I can make the likes in steps - 10, 20, 30 - so we see whether they changed this. It was 30 before.

I’m still TL3 so I’m not going to grab my pitchfork 
and torch 
today.
That said, I’m glad if the requirements have been reduced to a reasonable level (e.g. 3k reads every 100 days instead of 20k). I consider myself active on these forums but I don’t have time everyday to read 200 posts worth of D2 vs D3 vs D4 complaint threads just to meet the quota.

What is wrong with these people? No body has time for this! This reads like part of the job description of a CM.

As one of the silly geese who had TL3 prior to this apparent change, I would ask myself that every day 
Would be great if we could get some confirmation on what the new trust level requirements are so I know precisely what hoops I have to jump through to keep TL3. Won’t hold my breath though

Yeah, I did not get an official answer. Just confirmation that the TL3 levels were adjusted.
Basically, if I am right in my assumptions, they want a certain percentage of the active poster base to have TL3. In OW where they first deployed this software, the participation rate is HUGE. So many posters. Same when they did WoW. D3 on the other hand is a pretty quiet place so you don’t even HAVE X number of posts to read.
This is for the best and it will continue to change based on participation rates. I think.

Of course things are subject to change, but there is now a TL3 with 218 threads viewed and 3.34K posts read.
The “new” forum is past 200k posts now.
What?! I think I have more than that! Where’s my trust? I only type unintelligent things sometimes…should be a “try hard” level of trust here 
What’s written next to Trust level in user’s profile when you are TL3?
Mine states member now at TL2.
I made 10 likes, we’ll see if TL changes when tomorrow cron job hits.

TL3 = Regular

I’m back to regular…yay…
Personally, I like the revised requirements. Previously, TL3 was about posting in an ethical manner (the requirements about flags and no game/forum suspensions) plus the other requirements including a rather high number of posts read. Now, the new requirements are much more manageable in relation to posts read and TL3 relates more to obeying the code of conduct and not necessarily reading volumes of posts.
Yeah, nothing says trustworthy like randomly liking posts just to maintain an arbitrary number of likes given in a rolling 100 day period to obtain / maintain TL3.

If I am in the right ballpark on the requirements, liking 30 posts among 3,000 read (1%) over a 100 day rolling average is not a high bar.
