The Welcome to Discourse guide addresses it:

The Trust Level System

Discourse uses a trust level system to restrict what members can do on these forums.

When you initially join, you will be a TL0 member. This comes with strict limits on how often you can post and how much likes you can give, but as you level up, you’ll be able to post more and like more.

There are 5 major trust levels: TL0 new user, TL1 basic user, TL2 member, TL3 regular and TL4 leader. Regular is the maximum trust level that regular users can get and it requires regular contributions to the forum.

Regulars are able to access features such as changing the category of a post and have more powerful flags to remove inappropriate posts quicker.
