Most of the time folks just need to read more threads/posts or continue to log in for more days, etc… There is another side to the requirements which includes not receiving negative marks.
I’m afraid while you weren’t suspended, Pharazon, it seems there have been enough forum reports (that moderation agreed with), that impacted your trust level. I’m afraid there is no way for staff to remove those. I think they may fall off within 6 months, but I’m not 100% on that.
Thank you for checking on this for me.
Can confirm. A penalized forum account is restricted to TL0 for 6 months, measured from the expiration of the penalty. However, you can use that time to ‘farm’ the requirements needed for higher trust levels.
I thought it goes down to TL2 for 6 months, not TL0?
I believe it is TL2 as well.
It should just drop to Trust level 2. 
I guess I just noticed I couldn’t post memes and GIFs, so it felt like zero.
So we don’t need to be sanctioned in order for them to take our trust level off of us? Interesting.
That’s underhanded. Completely underhanded and entirely unjust for any reason whatsoever. People can come here and harass/stalk/troll/threaten and have nothing done, but Phara who is one of the most kind people I have ever seen gets posts reported by their stalker, gets punished? How is that even remotely okay, Vrak? How is that just in any shape or form?
Read more carefully -
It does mention:
I want to make a suggestion on removing that though, but this is not the thread to do so.
Please, I know some folks might feel like discussing policy etc in regards to trust levels etc, but I’d rather not see anyone getting into arguments in here or anyone getting in trouble because of this thread. I realize there’s likely not be any coverage right now, but maybe an SFA can close it whenever they can. I just don’t want anyone to get in here and say something that upsets anyone else and get reported or something just because I did not know the reason why I lost TL3 because I didn’t get any system notifications about it and just assumed I didn’t maintain the rolling-100-days requirements.
Addendum: I have only received system notifications for 3 posts removed in 8 months—if there are others, I did not see them at the time, and they are not in my notification history here either.
But, in my own opinion, it doesn’t matter with the other two I’ve seen and can still see or there are others: I made a post on August 11th that I even self-reported immediately after making it because—even if I didn’t regret making the post because it needed to be said—it certainly was against CoC to call someone out. And, I expected to get suspended for it to be honest.
I was even going to ask at a point earlier this year (can’t remember exactly when; maybe around when I made that post but probably earlier) if it was possible to be manually dropped from TL3 to TL2 (I even made a tauren hunter, Trustlvlqstn on Laval Lash in Season of Discovery to use to ask the question if TL3 could be removed if I asked—didn’t want to post that on Phara because I didn’t want to feel pressure to keep making the GIFs…also, I only made it to level 8 and friends encouraged me to keep making the GIFs at the time). I had some issues in the spring that made my feeling of needing to help boost folks’ level of happiness with the GIFs instead become a hurtful issue for me, and I didn’t want to break the CoC just to lose it.
Apparently, I did anyways, I guess more than I realized. I’m sorry to everyone for anything that was too close to the fire. My only intent with the GIFs were to bring folks up a bit higher in terms of their mood and to do little kindnesses for folks that seemed to me were down. I know some have been meaningful at times where some members of the forum at very low spots. I deserve not to have TL3 privileges 100% because of just the one post on August 11th, and the fact that fact that the post was only removed, and I was allowed to continue with it and share more was a kindness that the moderators did not have to provide. I made 550(!) GIFs for here, some silly, some just kind, some taking half an hour, a few more than 100 hours, all out of love.
But, I should have lost TL3 probably 2.5 months ago. I don’t need defended because even if I’m truly thankful for the encouragement and support from folks and whether or not anyone or myself think any reports are warranted, I certainly felt like I was given a pass on serious punishment a couple months ago when I didn’t expect to. Also, anyone can report if they believe any posts breaks to CoC, and if the moderators decide a post does, well, then it does. We should want the moderation to be such that posts are removed that need to be removed.
Any poster reading this: I love you all. If you enjoy my GIFs or they helped you personally in any way, don’t be angry at the moderators, SFAs, or any poster on the forums. Instead, if you want to honor what I try do, then at least try to be kinder to folks here. It can be difficult or impossible to know what going on in the world on the other side of a forum member’s screen. There’s a lot of toxicity and hate and strife in the community for various reasons. So, just try not to add too much to those negative aspects. I don’t regret one second of the time I put into anything I’ve made for here if it helped lift anyone (anyone) up. 
Not necessarily. Moderators remove posts all the time without penalizing the account. The penalty is an automatic ding against Trust level 3 for 6 months. It takes several agreed with reports for that to happen.
I’m sorry you feel that way. We’ve been trying to do what we can to do just the opposite for years now. Honestly, if I removed all the aggression that I see every day a lot of folks would no longer be able to post, including many folks who are making the same claim. Glass houses and all that.
I’ll see what I can find out when I get back into the office (I’m off for a week, so it won’t be until then - but the person I need to ask is out of the office too so that works out I guess).
In the meantime, you should have trust 3 for now.
