Sorry i’m asking this but i come from a completely changed forum…So i’m wondering what’s the fine line between ok and bannable(the guidelines are clear but vague,which is why i’m asking)i already know cussing isn’t allowed…but what is allowed?is it Off topic chat?or memes?Thank you for your guidance!(this will also help two of my friends @Kaito_and_Zahra and @yeetking-boss who come from the same forum)
Hello and welcome! I’ll do my best to interpret what is allowed and what isn’t based off of the forum rules and staff moderation in the past.
- All posts should be on topic (for off topic chat you can always use private messages)
- Be respectful to all members, no matter coding skill level
For more you should have a look at:

The faq here and Snap is about as clear as Scratch’s idea of moderation sometimes
Do you have any other questions?
Um yes,concerning the answer of off topic chatting,Why is uncategorized not removed if we can just pm each other?and concerning my question about memes and images,whats Glitch’s policy on that
Uncatagorized is not for off topic chat, its just for posts that fall in between categories.

Okay that makes more sense,because in my other forums before it became super strict,Uncategorized was basically our equivalent of Private messaging…now it doesn’t exist there,nor can we private message,despite it being targeted towards teenagers like myself
I suppose you could say that.
Other than that can i ask for some little comparisons between these topics and their glitch equivalent
Sorry for the 2 minute wait between replies…its become habit for me since snap implemented a 2 minute delay
Help with Snap = #glitch-help
Tutorials = #tutorials
Share your projects = #the-gallery
Bug reports = No category, use email instead: [email protected]
Feature requests = #feature-ideas
i thought feedback was for bugs
I suppose it can be, but I recommend that for urgent bugs you contact [email protected].
okay! thanks

Ok!i think i should i ask you the Most important ones:How do you go up a trust level,and do the moderators ever talk to us directly like Mr.Harvey and his snap team?and by directly i mean on the topics
-
Trust levels info can be found on Discourse Meta
-
The staff don’t talk much on the forum, if you need staff assistance you can always reach out to [email protected]
Um discourse for some reason is blocked for me despite the forums being unblocked
Maybe its blocked on your internet?
Yeah most likely but even on other ips its blocked…thats why i ask how we go up trust levels
This is another link to it:
Ello friend be careful cause theirs a reply limit here too
what is the reply limit?
Ask @RiversideRocks
https://cdn.catsarecool.design/fetch/aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmRpc2NvdXJzZS5vcmc=/
Try the link above. If that doesn’t work, I can just paste the text here.
Its saying 403 forbidden
@RiversideRocks what is the limit for replies??
The user trust system is a fundamental cornerstone of Discourse. Trust levels are a way of…
- Sandboxing new users in your community so that they cannot accidentally hurt themselves, or other users while they are learning what to do.
- 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.
As documented in Community Building on the Web, there is a natural progression for participants in any community.
This seemed like a great starting point for our user trust system. Thus, Discourse offers five user trust levels . Your current trust level is visible on your user page, and a summary of all trust levels within your community is presented on your dashboard.
Trust Level 0 — New
By default, all new users start out at trust level 0, meaning trust has yet to be earned. These are visitors who just created an account, and are still learning the community norms and the way your community works. New users’ abilities are restricted for safety – both theirs and yours.
(We also want to hide any “advanced” functionality from new users to make the UI less confusing for them as they gain more experience.)
Users at trust level 0 cannot …
- Send personal 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
- Post more than 3 topics
- Post more than 10 replies
- Edit their own posts after more than 24 hours
Admins can change these limitations by searching for newuser and first_day in site settings.
Trust Level 1 — Basic
At Discourse, we believe reading is the most fundamental and healthy action in any community. If a new user is willing to spend a little time reading, they will quickly be promoted to the first trust level.
Get to trust level 1 by…
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Users at trust level 1 can…
- Use all core Discourse functions; all new user restrictions are removed
- Send PMs
- Upload images and attachments if enabled
- Edit wiki posts
- Flag posts
- Mute other users
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for tl1 in site settings.
Trust Level 2 — Member
Members keep coming back to your community over a series of weeks; they have not only read, but actively participated long and consistently enough to be trusted with full citizenship.
Get to trust level 2 by…
- Visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially
- Casting at least 1 like
- Receiving at least 1 like
- Replying to at least 3 different topics
- Entering at least 20 topics
- Reading at least 100 posts
- Spend a total of 60 minutes reading posts
Users at trust level 2 can…
- 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×
- Ignore other users
- Edit their own posts for up to 30 days after posting
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for tl2 in site settings.
Trust Level 3 — Regular
Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.
To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…
- Must have visited at least 50% of days
- Must have replied to at least 10 different non-PM topics
- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)
- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)
- 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 or silenced in the last 6 months
* These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.
All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status . If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back to Member. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.
Users at trust level 3 can…
- Recategorize and rename topics
- Access a secure category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
- Have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
- TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
- TL3 flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts
- Make their own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users)
- Daily like limit increased by 2×
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for TL3 in site settings.
Trust Level 4 — Leader
Leaders are regulars who have been around forever and seen everything. They set a positive example for the community through their actions and their posts. If you need advice, these are the folks you turn to first, and they’ve earned the highest level of community trust, such that they are almost moderators within the community already.
Get to trust level 4 by…
- Manual promotion by staff only
- (Possibly via a to-be-developed election system in the future)
Users at trust level 4 can…
- Edit all posts
- Pin/unpin topic
- Close topics
- Archive topics
- Make topics unlisted
- Split and merge topics
- Reset topic bump date
- Daily like limit increased by 3×
- Any TL4 flag cast on any post immediately takes effect and hides the target post
We believe this trust system has been a success so far, as it leads to stronger, more sustainable communities by carefully empowering members, regulars, and leaders to curate and lead their own communities. But like everything else in Discourse, the trust system is evolving over time as we gain more experience with more communities. We’ll continue to update this post with any changes.
Not, sure, sorry! If you get limited, just read around and you should get promoted.
Mkay, thanks

oof.I still had too wait a bit!but off topic phrase aside,whats the policy on images in a topic
What do you mean by images in a topic?
like this(example)-random person on snap:
Just as long as they are on topic I suppose.
hm and i guess i can’t really ask the mods since you said they talk on here as much.Are their filterbots in place for the mods like scratch?
I don’t think there are any automated accounts here, but you can always flag a post if its in need of mod attention.
Ok,so there’s no fear of getting unfairly suspended for saying something thats not a [Veemo]cuss word
Yes, I suppose you could say that.
So no roleplaying no cussing no off topic memes…am i missing anything?also is it not showing i replied to you on your screen?
I think you are all set. Just be sure to follow Glitch’s rules:
Some of the basic ones are:
- No inappropriate projects
- All users need to be >13
- Don’t obfuscate code
…and you should be all set. Welcome to the community!

Hi Kumi, welcome!
You’ll notice from the categories and the url (support.glitch.com) that this is a support forum. So I don’t see it that much as a place to hang out or for memes etc… although you will see some chatter between people from time-to-time.
I know the Glitch staff like community, but I’m sure they’d be equally happy for that socially-focused kind of community to happen on another site. As people come here looking for help with the Glitch platform and coding, it’s good if they don’t have to contend with a lot of noise on here

Sorry its just a very natural habit to ask about memes and whatnot,but some of my questions were very important to me like the mods(if your one of them thanks for talking with me) communicate with us other than private messaging us like Snap team,who have made some very um(no offense to them if your their comrades)questionable choices in the past few months
No worries. I’m actually not a mod, I’m just old

Mods have a badge next to their name and will have a special title under their name in posts, like community manager and leader, or something like that - the main ones that are active are @jenn and @tasha (sorry for the pings)
Also, try not to ping users too much unless it’s necessary.
