Ahoy, adventurers!

I have been meaning to change our trust levels for quite some time. I was spurred to action by the current abuse of our flag system, so jumped in and updated them today.

It will now take longer to reach Trust Level 2, which is our member level. Posts can only be flagged once a forum users reaches Level 2.

Trust Level 3, our Regular level, will take longer to reach. It will also be easier to lose this status if a Regular has many of their posts flagged and approved.

I hope that these changes mean that our flag system is used as intended, and helps overall. Thank you for your time!
