Trust levels: how participation unlocks features

admin admin 2 months ago

Trust levels reward consistent, constructive participation. As you post, reply, and earn reputation, you move up from Level 0 to Level 5.

Higher levels relax rate limits and unlock light moderation abilities. You never lose a level for being inactive — trust is earned, not rented.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.
