Does anyone have TL3 users in their community? Yes (SWI-Prolog)
If so, have you tuned the TL3 requirements? No
And to what? N/A
Did those users achieve the status with the default requirements? About 5 users may have, I did.
Can you characterize your community’s volume in terms of topics and posts, please? I won’t give specific numbers but will say that if you search for Prolog or SWI-Prolog you are likely to find the documentation site, the GitHub repository and/or the Discourse site. Our numbers are much lower than every graph posted so far in this topic.
Here is our breakdown of users
admins 4 (I am one of the 4)
moderators 1 - Not active on the site any more but still visits once or twice a year
staff 4 - same as admins
trust level 0 - 990
trust level 1 - 561
trust level 2 - 168
trust level 3 - 156
trust level 4 - 3 The list only shows one person but sometimes Discourse employees are on the site as the site is hosted by them.
Just about everyone with trust level 3 is at that level because I modified their profile to lock them into that level.
Our site is for the programming language SWI-Prolog which is an AI language, not to be confused with artificial neural networks, so most who join are at the college/university level or beyond, it is not uncommon to see PhDs on the site. Before locking a user into trust level three there are a few things I check and if they past muster then with some prestidigitation they are locked into trust level 3. One of the main reasons is that it is not uncommon for our users to vanish for months then return for a few post. If they were not locked into trust level 3 then they have to deal with the bot, lose privileges, etc. Make sense.
