They do, just takes forever.
Yep, and essentially, if you ever get flag bombed you need to start all over again starting from day 1.
The system is really bizarre and its part of why many just don’t use it.
I mean I lost mine over a year ago so I dont think its coming back.
The problem is unless you get suspended, you never know how many flags you’ve accrued, but you’ll lose TL3 while those flags are investigated, and if they were all dismissed the TL3 comes right back. If you are suspended, then you have to re-earn it the hard way.
Correct. My thought is that the thumbnail being used in the video is probably the culprit behind the error. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. If the youtube user is using a thumbnail image directly from a imagine storage webpage like IMGUR, then it won’t show. If they are uploading it directly to youtube page when they upload the video, then it’s good.
It might not be that at all. but it’s a thought considering it only happens to Lv 2’s and it’s regarding imaging permissions.
To add on to this, while you can earn TL3 back, I have also heard accounts that TL 3 once lost, cannot be regained either.
Honestly, the entire forum system is rather…bad.
All the posts about trust level say it needs TL3 to post videos. Making it easier to post videos than pictures sounds like the bug to me.
I have a fan base that likes to flag half of my posts but honestly, I’ve never cared to begin with lol.
Kalli provided you the post that explained the trust levels. Do read it.
My guess too.
It happened recently too. I was posting videos last week.

Nah, I have TL3 on another character (same account), and I lost TL3 last year but I’ve regained it. Just took a long time.
Did you lose it via suspension or inactivity?
I do not believe this is the case.
The powerwolf song I posted inconsistently is allowed to be posted.
I have noticed if you post thelink in anything but the first line you trigger the bug.
The bug also triggers if you wait too long to post.

Ah true, it must’ve been inactivity. Didn’t get an email from Blizzard.
What I quoted earlier actually included that, but here, here’s the relevant chunks right out of the MVP post:
Also from that same post:
As mentioned before, Trust Level 1 and 2 users can post select links and embedded content from trustworthy sources such as YouTube or Twitch.

I’ve never been trust level 3. Don’t think i’ve ever even been two, took a few too many forum vacations.
I could always link trusted videos like Youtube. But now when you try, the forums think you’re posting an image.
Clearly something is broke.
That is the exact information that Kalil pulled.
