Hi LOKLiK fans,
At LOKLiK, our DIY community thrives on collaboration, creativity, and mutual respect. Central to this vision is our User Trust Level System—a foundational framework designed to nurture growth, reward dedication, and ensure a safe, vibrant space for everyone. By aligning with the natural progression of community participation, our five-tier trust system empowers users to learn, contribute, and lead at their own pace. Let’s explore how it works! 
Why Trust Levels Matter
The LOKLiK Trust System serves two core purposes:
-
Protect newcomers by gently guiding them through community norms in a “sandboxed” environment.
-
Granting experienced users more rights over time, so that they can help everyone maintain and moderate the community they generously contribute so much of their time to.
Your trust level, visible on your profile, reflects your journey and unlocks opportunities to grow alongside LOKLiK. 
The Five Trust Levels: From Newbie to Radiance
Each level symbolizes a stage of growth, contribution, and responsibility. Here’s what they represent:
-
Trust Level 0 — Newbie: A fresh start. New members are learning the ropes.
-
Trust Level 1 — Twinkle: The first spark of engagement. Users begin to shine.
-
Trust Level 2 — Spark: Active contributors igniting energy and connections.
-
Trust Level 3 — Blaze: Passionate leaders fueling community growth.
-
Trust Level 4 — Radiance: Guiding stars who illuminate the entire community.
Now, let’s break down how to climb the ladder! 
Trust Level 0 — Newbie 
Starting point for all new accounts. Newbies are learning LOKLiK’s culture, so their actions are limited for safety.
Restrictions include:
-
No personal messages or post flags.
-
Limits on images, links, mentions, posts, and edits (24-hour edit window).
To level up: Focus on reading and absorbing! 
Trust Level 1 — Twinkle
The glow of early engagement. Twinkles have shown commitment by reading 30+ posts, exploring 5+ topics, and spending 30+ minutes learning.
New privileges:
-
Full access to core features (Invite link, image uploads, post edits/flags).
-
Ability to mute users.
Trust Level 2 — Spark
Igniting conversations, building momentum. Sparks are consistent contributors who’ve visited 15+ days, engaged in 50+ topics, read 100+ posts, and earned/given likes.
New tools:
-
Invite others to topics or group PMs.
-
Extended edit window (30 days), higher daily limits, and ignore function.
Trust Level 3 — Blaze
The firekeepers of LOKLiK. Blazers are long-term stewards. To qualify (over 100 days):
-
Active participation (50%+ days visited).
-
10+ topic replies, 20+ likes received, 30+ likes given.
-
Clean record (no flags/suspensions).
Advanced powers:
- Reorganize topics, access secure categories, auto-hide spam, and create posts.
(Note: Demotion possible if activity drops—stay consistent!)
Trust Level 4 — Radiance
The community’s guiding light. Radiant members are handpicked for their wisdom and integrity. Think of them as “near-moderators.”
Exclusive abilities:
-
Full moderation tools (pin/close/archive topics, edit all posts).
-
Immediate post removal via flags and expanded daily limits.
Climb, Contribute, Shine
LOKLiK’s Trust System isn’t just about privileges—it’s about fostering a culture where everyone grows together. Whether you’re a Newbie finding your footing or a Radiant member lighting the way, your journey matters.
