The discussion revolves around sharing Trust Level membership percentages in various Discourse communities. jonobacon initiated the conversation, seeking percentages of Trust Levels 0, 1, 2, and 3. Users HAWK, maiki, and jerdog shared raw data and screenshots from their communities. SidV pointed out the importance of considering the community’s creation date and provided a method for creating a pie chart with percentages.
Mcdanlj shared specific percentages from their community, noting that Trust Level 1 is dominated by inactive users from a Google+ import. The majority of their active users are Trust Level 0, with smaller percentages of Trust Levels 2 and 3. Overgrow and JimPas commented on the default requirements for Trust Level 3 being tough, with the latter adding that users can be dropped back to Trust Level 2 if they fail to maintain the requirements over time.
Hey, Everyone,
I posted this as a tweet on Friday, but would love to tap into a broader community of Discourse users:
In a nutshell, what are the percentages of your Trust Level 0, 1, 2, and 3 in your community? (I am excluding TL4 as people are manually added.)
I would like to understand if there is a broad commonality with our different communities.
You don’t have to share your community name or the specific numbers, just the percentages is fine.
Thanks!
I am too lazy to work out the % figures, but here is the raw data from Meta.
I’m exactly as lazy as HAWK, but for a different instance. 
Very interesting percentages.
I think its very important to know when the community was created.
In my case, for example, first topic = August 2015. 
@HAWK 's case view like this:
If someone want to see their pie chart with percentages, go to admin section and take the trust levels numbers to put here: https://playground.anychart.com/DbRkhpaG/2 on this section:
And click “Run”, and you will have your Pie Chart 
Copying from my earlier tweet response to pull information together, on forum.makerforums.info — TL1 for us is dominated >200:1 with G+ import users who have not (yet) activated. Ignoring those, we are roughly 90% TL0 (mostly blocked spammers), 6% TL2, 3% TL3, 1%TL4. TL1 noise really hides any pattern though.
(In case anyone is wondering about having lots of TL0 spammers: We block but do not delete spammers, in order to be able to compare new spammers to old spammers to look for patterns to help us better identify the new spammers.)
Looking at those stats it seems like the default requirements for tl3 are pretty tough 
..
Don’t forget that is a tl3 user doesn’t keep up with the requirements over time, they can be dropped back to tl2. So yeah, it’s pretty tough.
