Over the weekend I had completed the requirements for achieving the trust level 3 status for interactions on the WoW forums. However, I have not acquired the upgrade yet. I waited to ask about it because I figured it was probably something that updates during regular business hours.
Iām showing you still at a two.
What Iām seeing is still a bit to go on reading posts -it does take a lot.
Now, if this is an update error, relogging may help - but I donāt think it is.
Everything else seems good.
Since this topic is about Trust levels, Iāll ask. Do you retain the trust level once you get it or does it downgrade over time?
Good question, one Iām not entirely sure of.
I donāt think so.
I know forum actions can downgrade htem.
They can degrade if you donāt post or read the forums often enough.
If you reach tl3 and you take some time away from the forums, it doesnāt usually take long to get it back.
Thank you for letting me know. What Iāve been going on was this comment from an earlier post.
Trust Level 3
Must have visited at least 50% of last 100 days
Must have replied to at least 10 different topics
Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 500 topics
Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 20,000posts (both starting posts and replies)
Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.
Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
ā Must not have been suspended (including forum suspensions or in-game account actions of any Blizzard game)
Is it more than 20K now?
Just as a by the by - I know there is this post out there that has a layout of what each rank requires to get to, but that post was not something submitted by any of the staff. While it was a MVP, itās not all-inclusive and itās not something that has ever been officially released. Itās a good guideline to work towards, but itās not something that any of the staff has officially laid out.
It is still 20k, but Iām showing you have roughly half that.
Keep in mind itās per character so if you swapped forum characters that would affect it.
Yup, but once one character has earned it, that trust level perks are available to all your characters. Which is a change Iām so grateful for.
Ohh I did not know that, that is awesome.
But acquiring that level still an individual āachievementā correct?
Hmm, my profile on this character shows 20.2k, but maybe that doesnāt reflect a 100 day period, only a grand total. If thatās the case then man is there alot of reading to do.
Unfortunately, for me this isnāt correct. Iāve tried to switch my forum posting alt to my main, and I had to earn a level to even post. When trying to post a link or look for the Lounge, I couldnāt post one and the Lounge was non-visible.
I would report that as a bug then. If I can find the post announcing the change, Iāll link it here, but it is supposed to carry over to each character on your account.
That, I believe is the case? Iām going to see if I canāt find the forum āpatch notesā where that had been announced. I believe it went into effect earlier this year, or towards the end of last, but I canāt put my finger on it right this moment.
I definitely will if you find it. I tried it as recently as September. (Had to look my Druid up on here to see since I couldnāt remember what month!)
I just checked it and my alts do not share my mainās TL3.
I missed any sort of announcement that it was supposed to be otherwise.
If it is indeed the case that my profile is showing my lifetime āpost readā instead of the amount required within 100 days, then i think my question has been answered.
Is that whatās actually the case?
And to everyone else, thank you for sharing your knowledge too.
I believe that is correct. Iāve never found a way to know your actual current post-read count in the last 100 days. Which is why I stopped bothering with trust 3, I would read like 10k posts all at once to hit the number, then after 100 days all 10k would fall off and Iād have to do it again and I read like 20k more posts before realizing that I actually had read plenty of posts but hadnāt liked 30 posts.
There is a certain Beta license that flags some for TL3 on all their characters. I have Beta listed, but apparently it isnāt that one and I can still lose TL3 if I donāt visit the forums enough.
