It used to be anyone could embed a youtube video. They changed it. Now you have to belong to a secret club.

I’m not part of that club anymore either.
You can post links without them embedding by putting three ` either side of them.

My feeling is that the youtube restriction (which didn’t used to be linked to trust levels) was changed because too many people embedded informative videos about the game.
It used to be a TL2 thing but they made it TL3. All that accomplished was making it so people at TL2 had nothing to lose for misbehaving.
I dunno if I can be TL3 at all…permanent, right?

For regular users, even if you are Trust Level 3 on the Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, or BlizzCon forums, your forum stats and trust level will be different here.
You have to be very active for a long time.
