All I know is that I tried to get Trust level 3 on an alt and met all the requirements but it won’t let me post pictures or gifs and the .Json shows me at true for trust level 2 but null for trust level 3.
I tried to find the post where a CM said they were looking into a forgiveness for us but I can’t find it right now, Not enough coffee in me I guess, LOL.
It shouldn’t but I have read that some posted in the CS forum that they had theirs appealed and overturned yet they couldn’t post as a level 3 and the CM looked into it and corrected the error so they could post as level 3.
Lmao; I like this post, Unfortunately this is what it is until they come up with a forgiveness type of thing and also there was mention of the severity of the forum suspension.
Same happened to me; I believe it depends on the severity of the infraction.
A slap on the wrist gets you a flag and once you get 5 you lose TL3; If you call out someone by name (As was my case it was a 3 day suspension and automatic loss of my TL3.) Same would go for real life threats I would imagine, etc
The trust level system is lacking in transparency in some respects, and has on occasion been a little buggy.
I was actually on time-out when the new forum launched, but was able to post for a few days until the suspension kicked back in for its original duration.
Despite that, I, the incorrigible and oft-silenced jerk, actually had TL3 for a short time. Even posted in the Super-Secret-Lounge to prove it.
I also logged in one morning to find over a dozen system messages about post removals and one “account on hold” one, but was able to post fine on any other character. The whole thin was then lifted in a few hours, so no idea what that ever was all about.
Some parts of the new forum are quirky, to put it mildly.
I never got a flag on my 3 day suspension but I did on an alt but it was overturned but yet the flag still shows on my Like/Reply area for that character.
