Just a reminder that we are a 100% JavaScript project, so being a “bot” against us means running a full browser, with full JavaScript, the DOM, GUI, etcetera. You’d have to basically script a browser running in Linux, Windows or OSX.

If you can show me evidence of anyone running a bot successfully against us, I’d love to see it – even human spammers barely try more than a few times, much less for 100+ days, with all the read count, like, flag, read time, etc requirements we have at each trust level.

To pull of something like that, you wouldn’t have to be a clever spammer, you’d have to be the most dedicated, smartest spammer in the world. And I’m pretty sure there’s _way_ lower hanging fruit out there – why bother with the door that has 3 locks when most people leave the door unlocked?

No, you must do _all_ of the following:

- entering at least 5 topics
- reading at least 30 posts
- spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts

TL1

- visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially
- casting at least 1 like
- receiving at least 1 like
- replying to at least 3 different topics
- entering at least 20 topics
- reading at least 100 posts
- spend a total of 60 minutes reading posts

TL2

- must have visited at least 50% of days
- must have replied to at least 10 different topics
- of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25%
- of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25%
- must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)

TL3.. now they can. _all_ of the previous levels must be met.
