Yeah, I’d like there to be a higher trust level + badge for forum users. @richard, @jwunderl, @MakeCode, is this possible?

Unfortunately, higher trust levels get permissions to do more things in a way that we were not able to disallow / turn off (I believe the main ones were it starts allowing direct messages and automatically approving posts at a certain threshold), so we are not able to make those attainable while keeping our current moderation / safety mechanisms.

As quoted by [this official Discourse blog entry](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/), the requirements for trust level 3 are:

> To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…
> 
> - Must have visited at least **50%** of days
> - Must have replied to at least **10** different non-PM topics
> - Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed **25%** (capped at 500)
> - Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read **25%** (capped at 20k)
> - Must have received **20** likes, and given **30** likes.\*
> - Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
> - Must not have been suspended or silenced in the last 6 months
> 
> \*These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.

Additionally, the trust level can be lost if the requirements are not sufficiently met in the next 100 days.  
Regardless, like @jwunderl said, Regular users have higher permssions likewise to those with the “leader” badge. For that reason it’s impossible to grant this badge without breaking safety

> Users at trust level 3 can…
> 
> - Recategorize and rename topics
> - Access a secure category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
> - Have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
> - TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
> - TL3 flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts
> - Make their own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users)
> - Daily like, edit, and flag limits increased by 2×
