How do Trust Levels Work?

Recently, I lost my regular title because of my inactivity. However, when I took a look at the regular badge to see how to regain it, I noticed something odd.

Although the Discourse trust levels blog clearly states that the user must have replied to at least 10 different topics in the last 100 days, there are multiple people that have retained the regular title/badge even though they’ve been inactive for over 2-3 years. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated!

former employees usually where the trust status was locked.

In your case, not enough likes received in the last 100 days.
The trust status is pretty meaningless on vexforum, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Oh ok, just wondering. Ty!
