Thanks, yes, I’m familiar with this thread, it’s what I used to check off what I first needed to attain level 3. I’ve had this one bookmarked for myself.
The issue is really that, at first it was pretty easy to tell if you hit the 20k posts read mark. Because you were starting from 0. So, I think I hit like 20,104 or something like that when I first got Trust level 3. Now, I’ve got no idea. I’m up to 53.8k posts read and still don’t have Trust level 3 back.
I really don’t think there’s anything I would have posted since attaining 3 that would have been both flagged as offensive or spam that would have been confirmed by a moderator. And I’m positive I have no forum suspension else I would have received an email notification on that.
So, I’m just perplexed now on what the problem is.
I know it’s not the spirit of the rule but at this point just as a measure of testing I am just opening big threads and just holding the down button to scroll through them. It’s increasing the post read count on my summary, so I guess I’ll just try to inflate that by 20k of where I knew it was to see if that was the issue. I don’t know how else to look to see if that was it. At least then I’d know where the problem was. If I have 20k more posts than I had earlier this week when I was still able to post links and had Trust level 3, then I can rule that out as the issue if it doesn’t come back.
It’s really frustrating to be stuck like this and have them provide no clue to you as to what is going on or what happened.
