What are trust levels?
A naughty and nice system. Helpful actions add reputation and bad actions subtract reputation. At certain amounts of reputation you go up and down trust levels.
| Level | Name | Reputation | Other requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL0 | Newcomer | - | Default for everyone, anonymous or registered. |
| TL1 | Established | ≥ 5 | At least 3 comments older than 24 hours that haven't been removed. Anonymous users cannot go above TL1. |
| TL2 | Verified user | - | Requires account registration. |
| TL3 | Trusted user | ≥ 50 | Registered for at least 30 days, and at least 50 not-removed comments. |
Why is the password length requirement so long?
To prevent password reuse. Let this be your sign to use a password manager if you are not using one already.
Soon, users that add a recovery option to their account (email, phone) will be able use more convenient login methods. MFA is coming soon, too.
