I’m sure most of you know about the Trust Levels. A lot of you are masters, and most of you are protectors. Anyways, what if in your profile, you had some sort of tracker that told you what level you are, and what more you need to progress. I only bring this up because I was looking into becoming master, but got kind of lost. (Not really, but it seems a bit complicated. Maybe not who can say really? Anyways I thought this might be a good idea, If not, let me know why.
Edit: Also, you know how you can see other blokes trust level when they reply? How about letting us see our own? Edit Dose .0 : Deleting Topics. how about a feature that lets you delete your own topic? It makes it a heck of a lot easier, and would seemingly save a large amount of space. Allowing Mods to be able to delete topics as well. Maybe mods should be required to close the topic with a warning that the creator must delete it, and if the don’t the mod will.
So anyways, yeah, you have to be chosen to be a Moderator because we are staff. The highest a normal user can do on their own is become a master, which has a bunch of requirements I cannot remember.
I would quite like a trust level tracking. Or at least something that can tell me what percent of post I’ve read in the last 100 days, because that’s the hardest part to figure out.
The thing about trust levels, I think, is that the goal is to be active. If you are active enough, you get Master. Otherwise, people could just do only the requirements and not be active but still be Master. This is why there are no criteria on the LMB. You need to frolic on the LMB to get higher levels, not just follow instructions like “Like 10 posts”.
But hey, could a mod tell me how close I am to Master?
Well the thing about that is, when you’re going for master, you only have percentages, not hard numbers. So it’s not “like 10 more posts” it’s, “You have been in 25% of all topic created in the last 100 day, and you need to be in 60%” or whatever. Also you can loose Master, so if you just go for it then stop being active, you’ll loose it.
