So to “be regular”, either post more or eat a high fiber diet. 🤪 It seems like a funny name for the hardest trust level to earn, especially considering the slang meaning of the word. Hopefully, at least one person laughed at the joke. ---

Where can I find out how often I need to post to maintain Regular Status? Thanks. ---

@Bernice They may have changed the original settings, but it will most likely be the same as here (our forums use Discourse): > **[Understanding Discourse Trust Levels](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/)** > > The user trust system is a fundamental cornerstone of Discourse.

It will also be easier to lose this status if a Regular has many of their posts flagged and approved. Maybe longer than 100 days, then – not sure about losing the status, though. ---

> [@Saltypatra](#): > > It will also be easier to lose this status if a Regular has many of their posts flagged and approved. I hope for 2 things: (1) This change does not motivate people to flag for the sole purpose of getting someone’s status reduced. (2) The inverse of this change is also true where the flagger’s status can be reduced if many of the flags are _not_ approved. We know you’re busy and appreciate you looking at the activity because the numbers will speak for themselves.

Of the 5-10 flagged posts that were maliciously handed down to me yesterday by someone who was clearly not a developer nor a real moderator like Lyya. This was the only post that was unflagged: > [@\[Resolved\] Adventure Board Deeds Bugged? (Once a bug report is resolved. It's no longer restricted to the bug report rules for comments. Fyi. Common sense. But since common sense isn't so common, I removed the category. grinning)](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/resolved-adventure-board-deeds-bugged-once-a-bug-report-is-resolved-its-no-longer-restricted-to-the-bug-report-rules-for-comments-fyi-common-sense-but-since-common-sense-isnt-so-common-i-removed-the-category/62383/15): > > Case in point: Flagged within a minute of my post. So it seems someone has nothing better to do than harass my posts with flags. I hope the devs take the time to ban you for abusing the system. You know they won’t so that’s why you’re doing it. You can do this all day for all I care. But I’ll still have a better life than you ever could. How do I know that? Because I couldn’t even dream of being such a loser as to just sit there and wait to flag another individuals posts. That tells me a lot a… The post where I pointed out the abuse. I get that the devs (and Lyya) have way better things to do than to unflag every post of mine that shouldn’t of been flagged. And to their credit, it appears that my account isn’t punished at this time due to underserved flags. But I ask that you use your outsiders perspective. If you know nothing about me and just see my name attached to flagged posts (and don’t even bother to click to unhide them) then it’s easy to get a negative outlook of me. Which I believe would be the intention of this anonymous flag abuser. I am fully aware that I can be controversial. Folks have the right to think whatever they want of me based on the comments I post here (hopefully they are able to see the context at least). But in this case they aren’t even able to see those comments without more effort on their end to judge my words for themselves. Instead all they see is “AWRyan and flagged”. Again I never have an issue taking responsibility for my words. Nor will I ever dispute responsibility for a flag that I deserved (there has been at least a few… In the distant past though). But I shouldn’t be responsible for petty flags because the system was abused. If you’re too busy to unflag posts (which it’s understandable if you are). Then no one besides you should be able to get posts hidden automatically. I thought that was the whole point of the trust level changes. And if somehow this individual did earn enough trust to get posts hidden automatically. Then I hope that they have made it 💯% clear to you now that they don’t deserve that much trust. ---

What also happens is that ppl misperceive their “flaggers” and then systematically flag in retaliation. That’s childish so please make flagging visible. Thank you. It’s becoming a new snowflake issue. ---

🏴 > [@Is this a GoW April Fool's joke?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/is-this-a-gow-april-fools-joke/62412/63): > > Can anyone disagree with the opinion that Gems of War used to be great. But starting with at least patch 4.7 it has been less great over time? Or was Council of Chiefs week the worst week in Gems of War ever and since then there’s been nothing made public that would make us think 9 days from now won’t be the same rubbish? I’m all for positive reinforcement. And that constant negativity can be more damaging than just saying nothing at all. But I don’t believe in participation awards. And I don’t… So evidently having an opinion about a prank pulled by the devs for April fool’s while considering the climate of the game is “off topic”. Someone clearly has a lot of time on their hands. I wish we all could be as lucky. I was right though. The real mods aren’t going to bother policing the flag abuse. ---

Real mods elicit respect without favouritism or having to resort to selective warnings/bans. Real mods care about their community to be around on and off after office hours… Real mods don’t lie to the customers, or keep standing behind a product (e.g. claiming the customers wanted the latest whimsical changes) when the product is increasingly defective… …anyone with access to the past 18-24 months of forum evidence should be able to decide how much of the above applies here. 😌 🧐 🖖 ---
