Forum ranks

It is horrible to have to convert but worth it.

You were less socially awkward before YT gifs btw

There must always be a gif animation.

Two of my colleagues in the accounts department at work would think I was ill if I did not reply to their emails in the medium of GIFā€™sā€¦ they then reply in GIF to my GIF and before you know itā€¦

Indeed. I was knocked down to Trust Level 2 a month ago. I was initially under the impression that MVPs were locked to Trust Level 3, so I thought it was a bug. After reporting the bug, I was told that I was knocked down because I was 500 posts short of my reading quota in an unspecified span of time. So all in all, yes, MVPs can lose trust levels for the same reasons everyone else can.

Weā€™re usually jump-started to Trust Level 3 immediately, but we can still lose it.

I wonder if what is expressed in that article is what happens with those who can post gifs? :scream:

Quote from the article:
Gipson slowly came to rely on the animated picture files as his chosen means of expression during his time interacting with others online, until his brain was somehow rewired to only think in terms of GIFs.

ive been reading for a bit now, jumping threads, reading more, doing my best to write quality content to spark furious clicking on that <3 icon then I sacrifice game play even more and play less to read more, but try as I might I simply cannot hit rank 3.

I swear down there is a trick im missing or somethingā€¦like uninstalling the game to live on the forums full time or something lol.

Donā€™t try to hit rank 3 ? And you will find it much more relaxed

Iam Rank 3 and I only come here when iam bored of reddit and YouTube. Itā€™s not really this much of a time sacrifice

OK, this thread was a joy to read through. I donā€™t have any gifs or pics for now, but Iā€™ll post them later if this thread is still going strong :sunglasses:

Yay, finally I can log back in

Anyway, TTS, on these forums ? I cannot envisage my ears bleeding being an enjoyable experience :smiley:

Itā€™ll come naturally, just let the time flow ~

Actually Just re-reading the post and thread way up there.

It is interesting that as trust level 2 trsuted websites can be linked (Youtube is mentioned or twitch) yet wowhead apparently is not ?

Yeah I think since the ranking system was first created the requirements have some what changed.

Visit 50% of the last 100 days (I can recall people getting Rank 3 before 50 days had passed)
Read 20,000 posts ā€¦ Im not 100% sure, but I cannot remember this requirements being so high initially.

it has come a long way now there are some ā€œhotā€ voice available

but no not in the forums itself but software that does this.

Hmm Wowhead and wowpedia should be in the trusted websites, I am nearly 100% sure TL2 can link them.

Oof I donā€™t know if it was changed, I didnā€™t notice anything really. Although Iā€™m quite sure the 20k posts read was already here originally :slight_smile:

If itā€™s any comfort, Iā€™ve got almost 2k posts, and have never been silenced or banned, and I am still only rank 2.

Itā€™s not really a big deal, but can be annoying when you try to quote, and realize there is an image or link in there that cuts you off, so you have to go edit.

Doesnt matter either way, ill keep chasing the Carrot, then blow my load when it happens lolol :smiley:
