I have just recently noticed the “Discourse Trust Level” and I am curious to know how it works and how do you get specific ranks.

You will find a general description of the [Discourse trust levels](http://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924/4) under this link. I am not sure if they are implemented 1:1 in the Stonehearth forum, as they have been added recently to my knowledge.

The trust levels were around with the beginning of the Stonehearth Discourse, but as you’ve said I’m not sure if they’re 1:1. So unfortunately I can’t cast any further light on the situation!

Ah, ok. I thought this was one of the features introduced with the transition of Discourse to the new hosting space.

Nope, was always there! Although how you get to ‘leader’ I have no idea …

I’m nearly certain that leaders aren’t currently implemented, due to both that linked thread and the following which suggests they haven’t implemented the settings yet.

im not sure if you have access to a similar screen, but we have an admin screen which shows details like Topics Entered, Posts Read and Read Time… in your case, those values are:
197 - 1566 - 11h (respectively)

My read time is probably pretty low, since I created this account only after I had read virtually everything and decided I finally wanted to start replying to things 👅

You seem off-topic. Get back on before I delete your post.
