Many of you know me, I’ve been contributing to the forums for a long time and I am active on GD in one way or another every day (except when I am ill). My R3 dropped over a month ago and no matter how regularly I am here and interact via views, comments, likes etc, it has not returned.
I wondered if anyone else had noticed this, if perhaps it is more difficult now to earn it back or if there could be some ban mechanism in place for some reason.
i guess you could say your rank 3 got shot in the knee.
I’ve heard if you get anything flagged the time it takes resets, or at the very least makes it a lot harder to regain.
snuffles
I’ve not had anything flagged since it was lowered to 3, because they do tell you and there is no indication of that.
Takes 100 days iirc
Personally I have no intention of playing this childish game with this forum setup where it’s just another goofy blizzard grind.
Depends on how long since you lost the 3.
You need to wrack up a bunch of read posts, likes given, etc. in a rolling 100 day window.
I suggest going through some of the longer threads, etc. Waggle lounge is a silly one but great for that.
If you keep up the volume, level 3 should come back.
Just keep doing what you’re doing.
Sometimes it seems to take longer than others to come back.
I’ve taken breaks a few times and always get TL3 back eventually.
If you lose it, you have to redo your 100 day segment with 50 / 100 in attendance. If it has only been 30 days-ish, you have 2.5 more months to go.
Well, if you get enough suspensions on here, you’ll lose the TL3 privilege forever or you have to wait 6 months but the timer resets if u get punished again
We’d prefer it if you didnt hit Rank 3
Yeah, last time I got suspended I thought I had lost it forever…but 9 monthsish later I got it back
Pretty rough punishment considering what I said, but thats the way the forums go
My friend had that issue not too long ago. He logged completely out of battle net out of 100% of everything, then refreshed the screen and logged back in and it fixed. Might work for you.
Well, I tried that. Logged off the forum, logged off bnet, logged back in, no change sadly. Good idea though, pity it didnt work.
Looks like it took me 11 months.
Ok I have to ask what do forum ranks do? No offense but this seems like something really silly to be upset about
Rank 3 lets you post pics and links…
I think there used to be a thread in CS where you could ask what you’re missing because it isn’t super clear. Probably just…time at this point?
Links/pictures/gifs.
Look, here’s my dk. 
I’m not upset, just a bit frustrated that I cannot post any of my neat images and share stuff I find on the net because this rank doesn’t allow image posting and only a small number of website direct links.
If you went inactive for a period, got flagged, or even got a small suspension, it gets revoked and your 100 days starts all over. Hopefully you can find out what happened.
