Quite funny ⌠
Morgan, if I ever disagreed with one of your posts, I donât remember that, but I will try never to do that again.

Now that I for the first time checked what this trust and level stuff is, I stumbled in the level 3 category over this one:
https://forum.spaghetti-western.net/users/dhsupport/activity
https://forum.spaghetti-western.net/users/dhsupport/summary
Made me kinda curious, who (or what) is that one?
He (it?) even seems to have reached level 4: Leader badge on The Spaghetti Western Database Forum

that is the account of the company hosting this forum 
So basically the super-admin, which would make me a lowly minion. That account however only accesses the forum for maintenance purposes or in case of technical issues
I supposed that.
Click here to check out the badges you can earn:

For example, too many members of this forum havenât filled out a profile or picked an avatar image. An easy step to win a badge. You get a badge the first time you quote someone, or use an emoji, etc., just to award you getting the hang of it.
Then further advanced you can receive badges for earning and giving likes, for regularly visiting, or for posting links to articles that get a lot of clicks.
As a refresher, to earn the next trust level you have to fulfil a mix of requirements over a period of the last 100 days or so.
Here is an anonymous example to illustrate:
| Value | Requirement | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Visits | 1% (1 / 100 days) | 50% | |
| Topics Replied To | 0 | 10 | |
| Topics Viewed | 1 | 7 | |
| Topics Viewed (all time) | 499 | 150 | |
| Posts Read | 5 | 373 | |
| Posts Read (all time) | 29490 | 500 | |
| Flagged Posts | 0 | max of 5 | |
| Users Who Flagged | 0 | max of 5 | |
| Likes Given | 0 | 15 | |
| Likes Received | 0 | 15 | |
| Likes Received: unique days | 0 | 5 | |
| Likes Received: unique users | 0 | 4 | |
| Silenced (last 6 months) | 0 | 0 | |
| Suspended (last 6 months) | 0 | 0 |
Doesnât qualify for trust level 3, because isnât around much (visits), hasnât replied at least 10 topics, has seen less than 7 topics and is way behind on reading (at least in the last 100 days). Also, need to hand out 15 likes and also receive the same amountâŚ
So everyone get busy, dig out some old topics, see if there are unanswered questions, post interesting stuff you find around the net, etcâŚ
Made an overdue change. So far, Trust Level 3 was very quickly lost, it now remains for about 300 days so you donât lose that trust level just because you canât âkeep upâ that level of activity. In general however this trust level system makese sense: the more active you are, the more reliable a member you are, the more rights the software bestows upon you
