Trust Level 3: Adept

Regulars are the heart of this community - the active readers and reliable contributors helping to share, teach and inspire the other VFX Artists and shape our industry’s future. Because this is a community meant for and run by all, we’ve decided to begin opening up moderation controls to all users with this level of trust.
Trust Level 3 must be Maintained
Unlike the other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status automatically by becoming an idle member. If you dip below the requirements listed below, you’ll automatically drop back to a Member until you return to meet the requirements again. This helps keep the community moderators fresh.
Level 3 Regulars Can:
- Recategorize and rename topics
- Access a private “Industry Only Lounge” category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
- All their links can be followed by search engine crawlers (Remove automatic nofollow)
- Spam flags cast on Visitors automatically remove the post
- Convert their posts into Wikis (Editable by all Basic Users+)
- Daily like limit increased by 2x
Level 3 Granted By:
Because we want to filter only the most active members, there is a time restriction for these goals. Within the last 100 Days, the user:
- Must have visited at least 50% of days
- Must have replied to at least 10 different topics
- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25%
- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25%
- Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*
- Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
- Must not have been suspended
