[QoL] Forum needs a MUTE function

To make things worse, spamming the forums is actually encouraged and made beneficial by the Trust Level requirements.

Making a ton of posts to get to TL3 is not true in consideration of how trust levels are determined.

1. Must have replied to at least 10 different topics
2. Must have received 20 likes, assuming that they have given 30 likes (really easy to give a like)

So if a person made 10 and only 10 posts and received 20 likes, they would have met their posting/like criteria.

Trust Levels

Trust levels are a participation system on the forums. The more you post, like, reply, read, and visit the forums, the more you work your way to a higher trust level. Increased Trust levels grant additional privileges. Everyone who is new starts off at Trust Level 0 but will quickly climb by reading and visiting the forums within their first few days.

TRUST LEVEL 0

• Flag posts
• Post more than 3 topics
• Post more than 10 replies
