A picture to show from 0 posts.
Odd, at the top it says âYour account is unable to post or reply until Jan 2, 2021 10:32 am.â yet I can post. Iâve tried logging in and out, gonna try a cookie removal.
Edit: Didnât work, trying another browser. Another Browser didnât remove it. Loks like itâs at Blizzards end.
And no, itâs not a picture of me

I would like to have the trust level system removed mainly because the amount of garbage that gets posted by those who are desperate to get TL3. And by garbage I mean threads that are just fluff, not useful to anyone and in any other forum would belong to off-topic section.
Also would absolutely love an option to always hide gifs, pictures etc until I click âshow hidden contentâ. Maybe Iâm just too old, but I just donât find memes funny at all and most of the time have no clue what the reference is.

Can someone explain this to me like Iâm 5.
What practical difference does not having a certain trust level or whatever actually make?
The TL3 Chads ( 
) can post images/gifs everywhere, while us virgins can not post such at all.

Trust Levels
Trust levels are a participation system on the forums. The more you post, like, reply, read, and visit the forums, the more you work your way to a higher trust level. Increased Trust levels grant additional privileges. Everyone who is new starts off at Trust Level 0 but will quickly climb by reading and visiting the forums within their first few days.
TRUST LEVEL 0

- Flag posts
- Post more than 3 topics
- Post more than 10 replies

Id post that âim sickened but curiousâ image from Johnny bravo, butâŚ
So yeah we can do a âwikiâ post which no one ever does, and we can post gifs and links, which we do.
But others can just do it in the method explained earlier in the discussion:-

Hahaha love it! Thanks!
Okay great, thank you.
I guess I donât see the problem. Itâs like some made up rank system which gives you perks which are questionable and some clout maybe?
Why are people this bothered about it.
It sounds like IO for forums lol, with even less benefits.

ye this TL system is utter crap. Im here since like 2 years, fairly active with 1000+ posts, yet nowhere near even TL2. I canât even post a damn link for godâs sake.
Since you need an active wow sub this forum is pretty safe from coordinated spam bot attacks. I donât see a reason behind these overly restrictive barriers affecting majority of users.
Just give everyone TL3 and if they abuse it to post inappropriate content or too much gifs/pics etc. then you can temporarily reduce it.

Blizz dont want random People to post nasty p o r n . Because even though america is hefty producer of p o r n , it is so forbidden to see it in public. But I dont mind i cant post gif etc. I rather prefer blizz spend their time on the game.
Why would people go here to post their naughty images, and do you really think such content goes unflagged?
Let me answer for you: Only a handful of nutballs would attempt to post their naught stuff here, and they would be permabanned pretty fast anyway thanks to the flagging system which actually can have a beneficial use too.

That was maybe the reason for not to allow everyone to post images.
Because everyone will come here and post naughty images?
Come on, letâs get realistic hereâŚ

I have always assumed that this is a native feature of the discourse forums and that Blizz never bothered to change it when they moved the forums to this system.

Itâs just an anti troll measure, if you are a good boi and donât get reported and punished (ie donât swear or break any of the other rules) then you can build up to TL3. Most people are TL2.
If you do get into trouble you can redeem yourself and still get back to TL3 if itâs something youâre really bothered about but itâs mainly just gifs. We post gifs, or images. TL3s donât tend to post unsuitable images because they donât want to lose the rank.
