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.
Appreciate you asking anyway, thanks MissCheetah 
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.
The point is, giving / receiving likes isn’t an indication of trustworthiness, regardless of how low the bar is set. Everything, with the exception of not having had a forum holiday due to being a naughty person, is a measurement of participation, not trustworthiness.
“Trust level” is not ideal nomenclature. I think that the idea is to capture behavior and recent participation. The advantages of being TL3 are rather modest.
Yep. The Trust levels are multifaceted.
The concept of course is that a more active forum gets more eyeballs and engagement between players (as long as it is reasonably positive), encourages them to come back and participate more. The goal is to have an active community that discusses the game.
Of course, they also want to only give the “rewards” to people who hopefully won’t abuse them.
If this were just about following the rules they would not have the engagement requirements.
Glad to hear that. 
I am back to being a Regular kind of guy again too, yahoo! 
, don’t ask me how I did it but I did step up my Liken and Flag-gen in the last couple of weeks! 
More fibre should help keep us all Regular.
The requirement is still 30 likes. I am TL3 now.
Whatever the requirements are, they are truly ridiculous. It’s like… you literally have to farm this thing, as if it’s own separate video game…
I mean, I can’t even post a link to a freaking Blizzard site or youtube…
I mean, what does the whole “trust level” or whatever even achieve?
Those who wanna criticize will criticize regardless.
The fans (short for fanatics) will like something no matter what.
It’s not going to prevent trolling, as trolling does not require trust level.
If Blizzard wanna delete something, they’ll delete it regardless of the trust level of the user…
Have there been major incidents caused by some poster for those restrictions to be put in place? Or some strange regulations?!
