Testing Trust Level

A few days ago, Yuri posted a bunch of URL for several valuable resources for coop players. I am just creating this post to test if a link can be created, the pages explaining these aren’t super clear.

Testing TL Coop Guide:

Nope is the result lol.

“Entering topics” seem to mean literally creating, which is a lot if you want to reach Trust 2 haha.

Yeaah, bit of a pain to have to work towards.

That said, if anyone wants to know their trust level:

  1. Either:
  • Click on your picture in a forum post
    Or
  • Click on the picture in the top right, then click on your name
  1. Add .json to the end of the url
  2. Search for trust_

(Heheh, it is kinda fun to play with the formatting though)

I don’t even think it’s 20 topics as I know I haven’t made 20 topics here or even across the other forums. The rules are not consistent or predictable it seems so far. Check my topic count.

You’re right, I edited. When I checked I had level 1, only made one topic where the info I read was to make 5 to get to lvl 1.

“Entering X topics” seems ambiguous, at worst not clear.

I’m apparently at level 1 despite having created 0 topics; all posts are replies.

It could be that you simply need to click on 5 unique threads which takes only a matter of seconds to do, as absurdly simple as it may sound. If that is the case, I should be at level 2 in about 9 days.

If I could get my old post counter back, my trust level would be higher.

to get trust level 2 one of the criteria is " * Visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially", the new forums aren’t even out for 15 days yet, right?

The new forums do look great. Bit odd with these trust levels, but I guess a necessary evil to combat the level of spam links posted otherwise.

Guess they cant check that you own the game anymore as a barrier to entry, now that its F2P.

Seems odd it cant take into account previous post counts etc though from the old site.

Weird Hyperlink

Some you can hyperlink while others you can’t.

Seems Bnet forum topics can be done but external sites are off limit until T2. Meanwhile, you can link YouTube video:

(Hope you don’t mind Yuri, just testing)

Meanwhile how are people able to put in a giant video window? Thanks Cyber.

Trusted sites like anything Blizzard, Youtube and Twitch can have embedded links:

Copy and paste the video URL and it should pop up in the preview panel.

I’m wondering how you managed to get to trust level 3 without having to read 20k posts.

Not a single clue lol. It’s never been exact since I made this topic but glad I can now.

Wow i got to level 3 as well.

Congratz, I am not sure why you tagged me in a reply though?

Not intentional. Sorry.
I quoted your post to peek on how you post images. Didn’t realize i tagged it.

How do you even see your “trust level”?

I guess its a good measure against spam bots…

Even though if somebody owns games and has achievements / game history… unlikely to be a bot :expressionless:
Perhaps that is factored in anyway? Or is it all just forum activity?

Yeah the trust level has been bugged since ever. Some get a level 3 without having to do anything while others need to go over and beyond the requirement.

It doesn’t even show and frankly doesn’t really matter. For normal posting, everyone will be just fine. It’s the posting pictures, external hyperlinks, etc. that you need the trust level to be higher.
