Continuing the discussion from [What do user trust levels do?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924/6):

Drivel that you can ignore: I’ve just noticed how Trust Level 3 is assigned. Though when I got TL3 here, I thought “well, sure,” I just noticed that 17 people have TL3 on my site & I hadn’t noticed that **they** could re-categorize, and so on. (And I’m still confused since they started in January and that’s less than 100 days, and I don’t remember changing tl3\_time\_period, but I digress.) 100 days is too long for a 16 week semester & I thought about writing a plugin or PR to change that time period, but it’s already done!

This is awesome, @techAPJ! It looks like the descriptions of the other variables didn’t get changed to say `time_period` instead of “100 days.” Right?
