Yeah, I just edited my post. As an Admin I should know better than to reply with a question before scrolling completely through a topic! My bad!

That’s one fifth and one fourth of the requirements, the 20 and the 30. So received likes need to be from 4 people across 5 days, while given likes need to be to 6 people over 8 days.

It was stated that:

TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post

It is so easy to get to TL1 that I think a good idea would be to change it to TL1 or below. There may be reasoning that I don’t see. I just know that as a Regular in some discourse servers, it is hard to deal with spam posts if there is not a moderator online.

The post is also hidden if multiple users flag it What happens when you flag a post. If a site has a problem with a lot of spam users at tl1 they could change how easy you reach tl1. Or they change how easy a post is hidden

How many is enough to hide it?

Judging by the discussion above its referring to the num users to silence new user site setting. In this case it takes 3 separate flags to hide the post if it exceeds the hide post sensitivity setting which is set to medium by default.

What does spam mean by discourse trust

Welcome to Meta. Can you explain your question a bit more? I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.

This question isn’t that clear, are you asking what is the definition of “spam” with the trust tier system?

Spam usually just means advertising, there is an option for users to flag posts as spam and if a new user account is flagged by several users as being spam that will freeze their account temporarily.

2 posts were split to a new topic: Help finding first task

what is capped by 500 or 2k, what do you mean with that

Even when there are more than 2000 new topics you do not need to view more than 500 topics. Same for posts: You don’t have to read more than 20 000 posts, even if 20 000 is less than 25%.

Are the list of activities that it takes to get promoted to the next trust level an OR or an AND? Does a user have to do 1 of them or all of them? Very poorly written.

It’s pretty clear to me.

There is no ‘or’ so it’s all three.

I’ve met all the criteria for Trust level 3-could I please be promoted? See stats below.

Stats

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.

You’ll need to ask someone at that site, that isn’t controlled by the discourse team / meta community here it is up to individual site administrators and moderators.

You will be automatically promoted when all the criteria are met unless they have changed any settings about that.
