I have one question on this trust level three. Recently I was 'silenced" on the new forums because of what they said was spam. The moderators decided to delete my post and silence me instead of moving my topic to the correct forum.
So it is what it is at this point, the silence was for about 14 hours. But my question is this. If you look at what I quoted above and here on this line:
The above information does not say anything about a 'silence" forum penalty, but it does say “received more than 5 spam or offensive flags”. So I guess my Spam silence counts as 1?
Do these penalties ever get reset? Say 6 months or one year and drop off? What if someone gets a three-day vacation for harassment, then that is considered a suspension and they lose their Tier 3 level right then and there, when does that reset or once you lose the trust level it can never be earned back again?
I think we should have a right to know how these penalties reset or if they even do reset. I tried to send in a GM ticket and they closed it without answering my question.
