What are Trust Levels?
Trust Levels
Trust Levels are a way for itemID to recognise active and reliable community members. Your level is determined automatically based on your account age, activity, and community standing.
The Three Levels
| Level | How to Reach | Daily Alert Limit |
|---|---|---|
| New | Default level for all new members | 2 alerts per day |
| Verified | Account is at least 30 days old and has registered at least 3 items | 5 alerts per day |
| Scout | Same as Verified, plus a track record of helpful contributions | 10 alerts per day |
How Is My Level Determined?
Your Trust Level is calculated automatically every time you perform an action that depends on it (such as creating an alert). The system checks:
- Account age: How long you have been a member
- Registered items: How many items you have linked to your account
- Moderation history: Whether any reports against your content have been upheld
Can My Level Go Down?
Yes. If a moderator upholds a report against your content, your Trust Level may be reduced. Maintaining a positive track record is crucial for keeping your level.
Where Can I See My Level?
Your Trust Level badge appears next to your name in community alerts and sightings, so other members can see your standing at a glance.
