Trust Levels: Our forum has a trust level system. Participation and positive contribution to discussions helps the users to progress through different trust levels, starting from level 0 and advancing to higher levels of trust. Each trust level brings added privileges and access to specific forum features, like the ability to edit posts or initiate new topics. This system inspires users to actively engage and cultivate trust within the community.

The structure of the forum: Our forum provides an intuitive interface designed to make navigation easy. There are 5 categories and each category has a description. Please read them carefully. If you want to report bugs, give suggestions, or share general feedback, you will find templates for these purposes as topics in the ‘Feedback & Improvements’ category.
