PSA) Trust Levels by @Argo77 :
How to Check your Trust Level
In https://forum.creative.gimkit.com/badges, you may see badges for trust levels:
You might be wondering what those are. These are the built-in trust levels for Discourse. There are two ways to check your trust level:
- In your usercard, the very first badge will always indicate your trust level. If you are a TL0 user, then you will not have this badge.
- In your user summary, you willl see your trust level:
