Understanding Trust Levels on Hiwonder Forum

This community uses Discourse trust levels: the system automatically adjusts your level based on how you read, post, and interact — higher levels unlock more features. New users start at TL0 and are promoted automatically once requirements are met (TL4 is granted manually by admins).

Level Name What it roughly means
TL0 New User Just registered. To prevent spam, links/images, @mentions, and daily posts are limited
TL1 Basic User Most new-user limits lifted; post images, links, attachments, and use messages
TL2 Member Can invite others, longer edit window, more likes
TL3 Regular Long-term active members gain near-moderator abilities; adjusts with your activity
TL4 Leader Granted manually by admins; near-staff abilities

Trust levels are evaluated automatically from participation metrics — reading, posting, likes, and interaction — and adjust dynamically with your activity; no manual application is required. For example, promotion from TL0 to TL1 typically requires entering at least 5 topics, reading at least 30 posts, and at least 10 minutes of total reading time. Exact thresholds follow the system’s configured values.
