Hi all,
If a member level 2 has past the flag requirements to promote to regular, level 3 for example.. Are the flags blocking the promotion fixed or do they “expire” after a certain time so the member is eligible for promotion later on??

That’s a good question. Any idea @neil?

I’ve always understood it to mean flags _in the last 100 days_, like every other requirement.
We have at least one TL3 member who had posts flagged. None of those shows in his “TL3 requirements” page now, so they must have expired.

I had a hunch that it wasn’t the case, so I checked

So it’s based on **the creation date of the post** on which the flag was casted, not the creation date of the flag.

So to confirm, it’s all based on the last 100 days?
