Have the trust levels been updated/changed?

I used to be a ‘Regular’ when it comes to trust level. So I would occasionally add tags to topics if they were missing to categorize them better. However, I seem to be unable to do this anymore. Looking at the badges, I see that I’m no longer ‘Regular’ and in fact, only UMB.FYI is now a regular. So something chaged?

ChatGPT answer, but this is correct:

you can be automatically downgraded from Regular (TL3) back to Member (TL2).

Here’s how it works:

  • Discourse checks TL3 eligibility daily based on the last 100 days of activity.
  • If a user no longer meets the TL3 criteria (e.g., not active enough, stopped reading, too many flags, etc.), they’re automatically demoted to TL2.
  • When they meet the requirements again, they’ll be promoted back automatically.

So TL3 isn’t permanent — it’s a “rolling trust” level that depends on ongoing participation.

So it’s just that you’ve been a bit quiet recently probably, you’ll get it back, I’m sure!

I love your help though, so if you’re happy with this: come join our moderation team? :folded_hands:

Sure, I’d love to help :slightly_smiling_face:
