Hello Everybody and welcome to our new Social Media Forum, I am sure you’ll have a great time, learn a lot and get answers for your questions from our great community.
Let’s talk a little about User Levels, what they mean and what they’re for.
First of all what you need to know is that this is not a normal forum, it’s more oriented towards a community of people. So, the more active you are in the community, the more trust you gain from both the users and the forum alike. This translates to user levels, they are a way to:
- Sandbox new users in the community so that they cannot accidentally (or intentionally!) hurt themselves, the forum, or other users while they are learning what to do.
- Grant experienced users more rights so that they can help maintain and moderate the community they generously contribute so much of their time to.
1. User Level 0 (Also known as “New”)
This means you’ve just registered, so you can be anyone, a spammer, a bot, granted also a good guy/gal ( which is what we hope everyone will be 
), but the community doesn’t know you so it don’t trust you. This means that you are restricted from some actions while you’re at this level
Users at trust level 0 cannot do the following:
- Send private messages to other users
- “Reply as new topic” via Link button (UI removed)
- Flag posts
- Post more than 1 image
- Post any attachments
- Post more than 2 hyperlinks in a post
- Have actual links in the ‘about me’ field of their profile (will be silently and temporarily converted to plain text)
- Mention more than 2 users in a post
User level 1 (Also know as “Basic”)
If you like what you found on the forum, and stick around for a little while, you’ll get upgraded to this level pretty quick, here are the prerequisites:
- enter at least 5 topics
- read at least 30 posts
- spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Here’s what you can do if you reach this level:
-
use all core functions of MPSocial like:
- upload images and attachments
- send private messages
- flag spam posts
-
have all new user restrictions removed
User level 2 (Also know as “Member”)
If you really like our community and you are serious about it, you will both learn and share with the others what you have learned you can reach the Member status. Here are the prerequisites for this level:
- visit at least 25 days, not sequentially
- cast at least 100 likes
- receive at least 75 likes ( this means you will have to be helpful and friendly within the community)
- reply to at least 150 different topics
- enter at least 350 topics (this means read them)
- read at least 1500 posts ( a post is a reply, a topic/thread can have many posts)
- spend a total of 600 minutes reading posts
As you can see, you need to prove to the community that you want to be a part of it and not just do a hit and run like most members do on forums.
You also get a couple of cool perks:
- Get access to all the Level 2 categories which are invisible for everyone else and intended for advanced techniques on how to make money with social media, latest tips and trick and top notch information.
- Use the “Invite others to this topic” button for one-click onboarding of new users to participate in topics
- Invite outside users to PMs making a group PM
- Daily like limit increased by 1.5 ×
User level 3 (Also know as “Regular”)
This is a Private, Invite only VIP level. You can get access to the VIP level only in special conditions. Once here you will have access to the best of the best information available online.
While you’re at this level you’re almost like a moderator with the following perks:
- recategorize and rename topics
- access a private “frequent flier’s lounge” category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
- spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
- flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-block the user and hide all their posts
- Daily like limit increased by 2 ×
This is pretty much how the trust levels work on MPSocial. As you can see it’s all set so people help each other more, the more you help the more power you have and the more people will trust you and see you as a mentor and go-to person.
Please don’t try to abuse the system so you get to a higher level faster, all comes naturally if you’re just there for your community
One last thing, you might be wondering what level you are, so here’s how to see that.
1 Go to your profile page by clicking on your icon in the top right corner then clicking on your forum name there.

2 On your profile page, at the top right corner you will see an “Expand button” click that ( if you don’t have it skip to step 3 as you might have already done this)

3 Once you do this, a new horizontal bar should appear with a couple of extra details, one of them will be “Trust Lever” and should correspond with one of the above ones ( new user, basic user, member, regular )
Alternate way to check what level you are
In a topic you’ve replied to, if you click on your name your user card will show up, the first badge shown there is your level badge.
… fixed
Works the same way on IG btw!
thought i’d be higher up since I breath Mpsocial now XD
