Regular (3)
Regular are the most active readers and reliable contributors to the community, having been noticeably active and helpful in the past couple of months.
This is time and activity based, unlike the previous levels. You can get to trust level 3 by…
- visiting at least 50 of the last 100 days.
- having replied to at least 10 different topics.
- of topics created in the last 100 days, having viewed 25% (capped at 500).
- of posts created in the last 100 days, having read 25% (capped at 10k).
- receiving 20 likes, and given 30 likes in the past 100 days.
- these must be spread across 1/5 the number of users, and 1/4 the number of days.
- these likes cannot come from DMs.
- receiving no more than 3 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator).
- never having been suspended, or having had it cleared by a moderator.
Additionally, published Choice of Games and Hosted Games Authors, and Beta Testers Extraordinaire will also automatically be made Regulars. Alternatively anyone can apply to the Regular group if they believe they have significantly contributed to the community.
Unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements, whether from flagging or the passage of time, you will be demoted to a normal member of the community. 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.
At trust level 3 you can…
- recategorize, rename, and retag topics.
- access a private “frequent flier’s lounge” category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher.
- have all your links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
- cast spam flags on TL0 user posts which immediately hide the post.
- cast flags on TL0 user posts which in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts.
- at least one other trust level 3 user must cast the same flag to auto-silence.
- make your own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users).
- daily like limit increased by 2×.
