No, there are a lot of other requirements:

## Trust Level 3 – Regular

Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.

To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…

- Must have visited at least **50%** of days

- Must have replied to at least **10** different non-PM topics

- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed **25%** (capped at 500)

- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read **25%** (capped at 20k)

- Must have received **20** likes, and given **30** likes.\*

- Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)

- Must not have been suspended or silenced in the last 6 months

- These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.

All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, _you can lose trust level 3 status_. If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back to Member. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.

Users at trust level 3 can…

- Recategorize and rename topics
- Access a secure category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
- Have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
- TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
- TL3 flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts
- Make their own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users)
- Daily like, edit, and flag limits increased by 2×

Admins can change these thresholds by searching for TL3 in site settings.
