A discussion on making the 100-day time frame for reaching Trust Level 3 (TL3) a changeable setting. Mittineague proposed this idea, suggesting it would be beneficial to have a customizable “prove yourself” time frame, rather than a hardcoded 100 days. This would allow sites to adjust the period to suit their specific needs. codinghorror supported the idea, and techAPJ has since implemented it as a site setting.
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.
