To be honest, I have no idea when I lost Veteran status. Since I opted out of showing that behind my name, I completely forgot about that feature in the first place. It could be months since I lost veteran status but I have had only 10 flags since October 20, one deleted post since October 20, and one Account On Hold because I dared to flag a CCP post as Inappropriate. That’s probably too much action to be called a veteran. 😃 ---

I know. I was Veteran level when they introduced that. And I should still be Veteran if it only went by visit time, read posts, read time and such because I have similar or higher time in these areas than you, for instance. I’m probably just too controversial and inconvenient for my own good sometimes. 😇 ---

> [@Gerard\_Amatin](#): > > Might be time-related, just like the trust levels themselves. I can imagine multiple flags in a day to be more of an issue than the same amount of flags over multiple years. I don’t know about that! 😆 I had a couple of people flagging me pretty good in a few thd’s. > [@Zhalyd\_Lyehin](#): > > That’s probably too much action to be called a veteran. That very well might be. But I still think I crossed the line as much as anyone. > [@Geo\_Eclipse\_Oksaras](#): > > You got yours back a few days after I got it back, back in January… > > @CCP_Fleebix and I got it on the same day I don’t remember ever losing it? But like some others, I usually keep it turned off. I know I chk on from time to time just to see if it’s still there and it always was. Where did you find/see that info please? I would like to chk it out myself. ---

Yeah, I’m not super thrilled about the system. There seems to be a lot of people who are highly active, regularly make meaningful contributions, and who mostly behave themselves who are still somehow stuck at the bottom trust level. I mean, I admit that I sometimes might push things too far, but I’d like to think that I’ve made enough of a contribution to this community, and behave myself well enough, to warrant being able to use as many likes as I friggin like. It’s not like I’m asking for moderator abilities or anything. ---

Yeah, I might have lost mine to flags. But I’ve had less than 5 in the past six months. So, shouldn’t I have gotten it back? idk, maybe I’m not reading enough. However, I don’t particularly feel like reading a bunch of spam from the market and recruitment sections to get my numbers up. ---

Wouldn’t it be great to have a “hated” tag in here? Or “disgruntled snit”? I would get “totally off ■■■■■■■ topic” almost instantly.
