Welcome to The Community Forums, _stella!

[_stella]

thank you! apparently posts have to be 20 characters :'​(

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

And for a good reason they are like that…

@hhyyrylainen

The primary reason is that making multiple posts in a row just look like really rushed messaging rather than taking the time to write one coherent message. For example the worst kind of posting is when someone posts a thought and then a minute later writes one sentence addition to that thought as a second post. Theoretically I’d be fine with allowing double posting if you reply to two separate people with your posts, but that would convolute the rules and it is just easier to deal with that quoting and having the strict rule of never double posting (other than technical character count limitations).

i can’t click the link, odd, but does make sense

That’s because the category the quoted message originated from requires you to attain the “regular” rank (which is acquired if you post to the forum regularly pretty sure)

Trust Level 3 – Regular

Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.

To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…

• Must have visited at least 50% of days

• Must have replied to at least 10 different non-PM topics

• Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)

• Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)

• Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*

• Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)

• Must not have been suspended or silenced in the last 6 months

• These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.

All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back to Member. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.

Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

Edit: Also, Welcome to the forum.

huh okay, weird system but i assume it’s been working?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I also recall there were a few persons out there which were manually granted trust level 4 by Hhyyrylainen, I wonder what that level does…

Hello! I hope you continue to enjoy the Thrive Forums! I was initially in the same spot as you, just reading Thrive Forum posts for a while, before I decided to make my account.

I guess emoticons can do help with serving the role of a postfiller…

…Through they generally won’t be of much aid when it comes to bringing back users who might’ve left…
