What are trust levels?

mark

Trust levels are a measure of, well, the level of trust you've acquired on this site. New users start at trust level zero. As you participate in this site, your trust level increases to a maximum of three.

Note: Your trust level translates to actual points that you will earn for this class.

  • Trust level zero - 0 points
  • Trust level one - 20 points
  • Trust level two - 40 points
  • Trust level three - 60 points

The specific actions you must take to accumulate trust per level are as follows:

Trust level one

To get to trust level one, you must spend at least 20 minutes reading 5 topics containing at least 15 posts.

Trust level two

To get to trust level 2 you must spend at least a full hour over 10 different days reading 40 posts in 20 topics. In addition, you must post in at least three separate topics, receiving 10 "likes" of your posts, and you must dish out 10 of your own likes.

Trust level three

To get to trust level three, you must spend at least 30 days over the course of the semester reading 25 topics with 50 posts. You also must reply to at least 10 topics, receiving at least 20 likes, as well as dishing out 10 of your own likes.

In case you wonder what the name that describes your trust level in your profile means in terms of these number based levels, the translations are given below.

  • Trust level zero is called new
  • Trust level one is called basic
  • Trust level two is called member
  • Trust level three is called regular

@mark mentioned today in class t̶h̶i̶s̶ what is listed above is not how the points are going to be dished out in the final grade. Instead each trust level is worth 15 points and we get 5 points for doing a favorite equation post found here for a total of 50 possible points.

So how he said it today in class is NOT how it will be for the final grade?...I'm confused.
Also, I feel like I have spent at least 110932498729 hours on discourse and I am still only a member frowning

@ediazloa I changed the wording of the post slightly so I think it makes sense now
