32k post read. Ive been silenced twice. Once because of a discussion with a troll where he deleted his comments. The other time because of this thread below??
Am I on a blacklist or something? Do you want me to smurf in order to get it?
Yes I know sometimes im in spicy discussions but I stay polite and a lot of my posts are encouraging even if I dont agree
Also if someone has lost his tl3 like drlogan is there any change in the comming months to regain it?
I just attained it recently after not having it because for a few months i barely posted/read. I think the biggest thing was getting 50 of the last 100 days visited.
regarding silences and suchā¦ i think the amount that you need can be changed by whomever is running the forum, but i would assume it is running baseline TL3 requirements as noted here: (so no tolerance for silence/ban)
if you were indeed unbanned early in that topic, that ban/silence/etc is likely not counted.
It is those bottom 2 that are the sticking points, because as far as I know, as soon as you get either one of those āconditionsā, they never go away.
So I guess the question is: Did you get silenced? Or did you get suspended? And have you ever had posts deleted as spam/offensive?
I lost and gained it many times, I think the key is reading topics, not necessarily posts.
You have to read even those troll or spam topics that get posted. I believe the requirement was 50% of topics in the last three months, you must have opened.
Iāve been silenced 3 times here, and still got it back so that syntax thread as it was from day one, outdated.
Forum silence => Mute user, cannot post, can still like, can change profile picture, can still use all forum features, canāt post.
Forum suspension => Logs out the user from the forums, mods (can likely to) lock your account from obtaining TL3 ever again if you done something really messed up.
In Game Silence/Suspension => Forum Silence.
I am not really sure, but maybe give support a chance? I know its a been a very long time when that happened, like seriously 2 years ago? I recall the comments on that topic.
Maybe they can uplift it due good behavior who knows.
It worked for me on some certain steam forums that I was permanently banned from, I wonāt go into details (lets just say those were 5 years ago, thats all) but the mods were kind enough to uplift a perma ban, I think it might be possible to uplift the TL lock from you.
Thereās no way itās that many posts on this forum. Someone said earlier it scales based on how many people post on that forum, by the Discourse software.
Also if you must read 25% of posts in the last 100 days, that could be very few posts on an inactive forum.
