The discussion revolves around finding a list of Trust Level 3 (TL3) requirements on a Discourse forum. tophee shared screenshots of the list from other forums, but couldn’t find it on their own instance. GuidoD provided a solution, explaining that the list can be accessed through the admin page for a specific user. codinghorror simplified the instructions, stating that being on the admin page for the user is sufficient.
tophee asked why this list isn’t accessible to individual users, specifically those at Trust Level 2 (TL2). hosna disagrees with making the list accessible, citing concerns that users may try to manipulate the system to reach TL3 by spamming or artificially increasing their participation.
I have seen screenshots with a list of trust level requirements and whether a particular user has met them here
and here:
and also elsewhere, but I can’t seem to find this list on my discourse instances (or on any other discourse forum, for that matter). Could someone point me in the right direction?
You merely need to be on the admin page for the user, you do not need to follow that exact path to get there.
Any particular reasons against making this list accessible to the individual user (more specifically: for TL2 users)?
(As you know, there are numerous related topics. Sorry, don’t have the time right now to find them.)
I think its a bad Idea. Then users might try to spam forum or increase their participation unnaturally, just to get to tl3 level.
For example faking the required read post is really easy.
