> Hey there! Recently we’ve changed our site settings, reducing the number of flags it takes, increasing read posts, increased time spent reading, etc. to reach TL3. The goal was to make it more difficult to be promoted to Regular, and hopefully reduce the level of immaturity & annoyance of users in our Lounge category.

I’m just thinking out loud here, but I’m wondering if it could be done fairly easily if the hard coded “100 days” that the Trust Level 3 requirement settings use might be better as a kind of “time period” setting.
I have a feeling that the status quo works fine as is for most cases, but I can’t help thinking it might be better if it could be tweaked to shorter or longer “prove yourself” time frames.
True, a member’s TL can be locked, but just the same.

Sure, I can support that being a site setting, @techapj can you add that to your list?
