We want to adjust the defaults for the maximum number of topics viewed and posts read required to reach trust level three to make it easier for users on very active forums to reach this trust level.
To achieve this, we are introducing an “Enable new defaults for trust level 3 requirements” upcoming change, which when enabled, will change the following site setting default values:
- The default of
tl3_requires_topics_viewed_capis set to 250 (currently 500) - The default for
tl3_requires_posts_read_capis set to 2000 (currently 20,000) - The default for
tl3_promotion_min_durationis set to 100 days (currently 14)
Admins who change these values manually will see no effect. When this change moves to Stable, we will make these new defaults permanent and remove the upcoming change, but the settings will still be available for admins to change.
