Trusted Changes
I've just made two changes to the rules for who is a Trusted Member (that is, has posting privileges on the forums).
The first change is to remove the waiting limit for anyone who has verified their email address. Now, if you've verified your email address, you're trusted. (I thought I had already made this change, but found I hadn't - thanks to projectmayhem for pointing that out.)
The second change is to implement a policy that the TMP community previously voted for - to make a verified email address a requirement for Basic Members who want posting privileges.
