Yes, I understand, but if you want to keep things consistent and not be scrambling for posts when a large chunk suddenly falls off one day, the minimum is 200/day.
i was probably reading well over that a day on average but I don’t spend the time on each post the forum wants me to and I am not going to waste time doing so just so I can post a link a few times a year.
Wise choice 
Your time is yours to spend in useful ways. You can always use the Preformatted text button (</>) to post the link and people can copy and paste.

Ja. Blinks slowly off? Found it - and boy I sure hope mine went off, because I sure didn’t know about that. Thanks Vyanta!

It still exists. I posted in there earlier today.

You will only see it while you are Trust Level 3.

You’ll also only see it on the character that has TL3 - if you were one of the people who got TL3 through the beta bug it showed up for all of your characters, and all of the characters had access to the TL3 functions.
I just confirmed that my penalty period after a forum ding expired TODAY, and that only this character can see the lounge since the bug was finally addressed.

Does everything change back automatically? No one has to crawl into the machinery to press a button with my name on it, and that person went home for the weekend?
It’s automatic, but not always instant.

The forum software does a trust level sweep once every X time period. Seems to be about once a day. Def not instant.
It is automatic though and will bump you up to the TL3 group when that routine runs. Whenever that is.

And has it happened? Not for me. Still waiting. Am I missing anything?
About 230 short on topics viewed.
Remember, these decay. It’s not just a matter of hitting levels and them sticking.

I can’t see your forum account stats, unlike a Blue. They can tell you if something is missing or not. Usually it is a few likes given/received.
Edit and Orlyia was a fast sleepy panda!

I’m getting more and more frustratingly upset. Even if I reach whatever it is I need to get back into TL3, the speed at which my stats decay and the fact I’m older and slower won’t leave me there long.
So it really won’t benefit me to post there and I’ll do better just posting forum-wide.
I suspect that before the weekend began, I had reached the correct number of posts (there were a little over 300 that I needed), but for some reason I lost my place because the “program” wasn’t set to pull me in to The Lounge and I lost out.
I suggest someone in authority take a look at the requirements and test them out themselves.
Mirasol, that last sentence in your post. No idea what it means. Can you explain, please?
Orlyia’s forum avatar is a sleeping panda. Thusly they’re known as the sleepy panda around these parts, and they got a post in before Mirasol did.
The speed at which stats decay is entirely of our own making. If you’re reading 6k posts one day for example, 101 days later that 6k is going to fall off your record and you’ll need to read them all again to get it back the same day.
Not a “some reason.”
Maintenance metrics just need to be withheld in a 100-day rolling window. Since you started this thread, everything you had done 101-106 days ago stopped counting towards your TL.

Topics, not posts.
You need to read more topics, not necessarily individual replies.
