Hello, I need to undestand what does “_entering_” mean in Trust Levels.  
I thought that TL1 promotion was when the user POST at least 5 topic. ☹

In TL1, I’ve got some users who posts 2 topics and they got the promotion to TL1., so I believe that “entering” is like “reading”?

Can you help me to understand?  
“Enter” is like “read” or “post” ?

You can consider “`entering a topic`” a synonym of “`visiting a topic`”.
