How Discourse trust level works?

I think I can see what is at-juliohm means. I’ll be very specific, because that’s what people are demanding from him (and I can see why he wouldn’t want to be, as this could just cause more distress for him).

It seems like the moderators are much more tolerant with unconstructive post made by one of “their” group. I really don’t get why (this)[Couldn't be good to postpone 1.0? - #13 by kristoffer.carlsson] particular post hasn’t been “hidden” yet. No offense to at-kristoffer.carlsson, who makes marvelous contributions to this forum, but that particular post just wasn’t adequate for a web forum (where we can’t see with which “tone” things are “said”.) And yet I’ve seen really unharmful posts made by at-juliohm or at-ScottPJones being quickly hidden. I’m on my phone, so I’ll not try to link cases where that happened, but one can easily find those.

Unlike stackoverflow, Julia discourse is not a purely question-answer forum, but involves a lot of subjective opinions, which makes it difficult to moderate.

Judging by my personal experience, I would say Julia Discourse is quite inclusive. I used to make some old jokes of Fortran in stackoverflow and reddit, but very easily get attacked.
