User Trust Levels

Basic (1)

Once a user sticks around long enough to read a bit, we trust them enough to unlock most forum features.

You can get to trust level 1 by…

  • entering at least 5 topics.
  • reading at least 30 posts.
  • spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts.

Alternatively, you’ll start at trust level 1 if you’re invited to the forums by another user.

At trust level 1 you can…

  • use more of the forum’s main functions.
    • upload attachments.
    • edit wiki posts.
    • flag posts.
  • post without moderation approval (after your initial post).

In addition, for the first 24 hours after creating your account, you’ll only be able to post 25 messages, and create 3 topics.

Level 1 users cannot post to the off-topic category.
