Okay, but reading 500 threads / 20,000 posts and visiting 50+ days per rolling 100 days is a massive and on-going commitment that has literally nothing to do with trust and everything to do with participation.
Again, if they’d just fix the trusted / white list of domains that we’re allowed to link to at TL2, I don’t think anyone would even care about, or try to obtain / maintain, TL3.
currently at day 48 and have met the other reqs so should be good in 2-3 days. Finally!
@Meteorblade,
Have you checked yourself yet? It is day 50.
@TheTias stated that TL3 kicked in day 51 for another Blizzard forum.
Are you out to play a game or just play the forums???
There is so much fight and debate getting out of hands on the barbarian channel, it’s ridiculous the amount of people getting posts over reply of extreme low quality.
I believe the amount of post is a little bit rigged.
Trust Level 3 on a video game forum? That’s a priority for people? Interesting.
i clicked on your thread to respond to it, which swept every relevant far under ground
is this how these asss learn?
replies to threads are luckily accredited to none sense and no one cares

Still TL2, so I guess I’ll check again tomorrow in case that day 51 thing is the reason why, but I suspect not.
When someone earns TL3 and they begin to add things in their posts such as direct links, and embedded images, what happens if they lose their TL3 status?
Are those images and links reduced to text links, or does that person just lose the ability to add those things in new posts?
As of this post, there are currently 83 TL3 users.
That’s a good question. For example a troll grinds TL3, spams a bunch of links and loses TL3, what happens to those links? Maybe the right decision is in such cases a mod to clear these automatically, because most of the time those who will lose TL3 will be just legit folks.
Good point.
I was thinking more along the lines of those who drift in and out of TL3 status on a weekly basis.
When those people want to post a screenshot, will they have to mindlessly scroll through a few hundred posts just so they can post an image?
The 20k read requirement seems like a useless measurement for trust level.
I went from 13.1k to 18.9k in about 2 hrs last night. Seems kinda pointless.
I would guess the 5 unique flag rule might stop the trolls.
I was thinking about the whole TL3 status and if they want to really make it bulletproof, it should work through some kind of invites.
For example - people who are TL3 since some time can earn invites and use them to make other posters TL3, just as they can vote to demote a poster from TL3 status. This way it would be a lot easier for those who are regular to post all kind of links and the “new” forumers to have to earn their trust not by scrolling through posts rather by posting useful stuff.
Such kind of system could be fully automated too.
This kind of is how perma T3 works. There are 5 green CS posters with TL3 assigned. There are also 5 guide writer/helper folks I know of with TL3 assigned. I know I recommended three. There are probably a few more folks with TL3 that I don’t know about. Blizzard handles all that on a case by case basis though and each person gets investigated, reviewed by several people, then management also has to approve. It is complicated.
It already is, based on the criteria in the forum software.
Around forum release there were about 67 assigned to TL3. Of those, only around 10 were players in the MVP program or guide writer types. I assume the rest were Blizzard staff.
If we now have 83 then either more staff have been added or some players got their rank.
garbage new forum system but better than having dislikes I guess. 
What is TL3? I am completely new to the new forum.
Trust Level 3, means you can post links. 
I guess the new question is:
Did anyone who met the TL3 requirements as of today become TL3 already that was not manually approved/MVP/ Blizzard employee?
I suspect that there will be few people who will post about their new TL3 status.
The content in the posts already made should remain. However, new posts will be restricted to TL2 allowances.
TL3 is now available assuming that you met Blizzard’s requirements.
