@Tsumia

access a private lounge area

@regulars @moderators what is that?

[Infinite_Flight_Sims]

It’s a private category

[Thunderbolt]

Please don’t tag @ moderators, as it does indeed tag every single moderator here.

The lounge is exactly what it sounds like, a place for us to hangout.

Here’s a basic understanding of trust levels and the forum in general:

A Beginner's Guide to the Forums

I have searched long and hard and it seems no one has made a tutorial on the community. All these new members flooding in need some help to understand the guidelines, profile setup, trust levels etc-. Lets give them help through this thread with a tutorial for new members! Learning the Community Trustlevels For those new members the hardest thing to do is start. Where they can start? Before anything you must learn about our trust levels. What are trust levels? Trust levels are levels of ran…

And here is a deeper dive into trust levels, since most people are curious about how to upgrade to the next trust level.

Why have I not reached TL* yet?

Hello! We’ve been seeing an increase in topics regarding why some of you haven’t reached a certain trust level, so i thought i’d just give you a short explanation of why this might be the case. Most of the topics I’ve been seeing, have been regarding TL2 (also known as “Member”). I can imagine quite a few of you have seen this topic, and may be thinking that you should have reached TL2 based on the numbers stated: This is a great topic, it does not however reflect the requirements we hav…

Looking forward to seeing you be active on the forum!

What does “farming TL2” mean?

[Infinite_Flight_Sims]

It’s when a user only replies, likes, etc. because they want to ‘level up’ instead of actually putting thought and effort into their posts.

[MaxTheBandit]

I see. I only posted like 4 or 5 posts. So I don’t know. Had this account for over a year, just never posted anything

[Lufthansa2]

Yea that’s true. I’ve seen a lot of people do it and get Regular before me even though they joined after me :P

[AvioesEJogos]

I’m a TL2 for 3-4 months now I think. Usually how long it takes to become a TL3 @regulars? Consider that I’m active daily since late December 2019.

[Thunderbolt]

It is not measured based on time. It is measured based on productivity, useful comments, and being helpful in general. It’s not a sprint - it’s a marathon that you need to work through. It’s hard work that takes time and dedication. Also, tagging @regulars does nothing 🙃.

[AvioesEJogos]

I just want to have a general idea, considering that I usually like everything and am active daily.

Scrapping @regulars tag at Victorville right now

@AvioesEJogos

like everything and am active daily.

This doesn’t constitute being a TL3 at all. Liking is as simple as tapping a button. Being active is as simple as scrolling through topics. Are you being productive? Are you helping others? Are you constantly striving to make the community a better place? This advice goes for anyone that wants to move up the ranks in this community.

If you would like to discuss this personally, we can PM. I have about an hour.

1. All the TL information has been given already.
2. Anyone that claims to known when is not telling the truth.

Just stay active and hope for the best.
