Just so you know, you won't be excluded from TF's because you've leveled, so long as you don't train up. If you REALLY want to complete it, don't visit the trainer. As with most other things, the level checking is based on Security Level (training level), not actual level (fighting level).

Interesting I didn't know that...oh and Hey Mirashta long time no see 
Should note this bug extends beyond just the TF to the Unity plague mission and i'm willing to gather anytime you have to talk to Ms Liberty for a mission.

Wow, it's a shame it took a badge for people to be interested in Task Forces. And now they're almost too high and can't test it. Dripping with irony! And karma!

that is actually wrong and unnecessarily rude/insulting. I and others I know have done every mission and story arc with our characters, and done ever task force we have been able to. Its nothing to do with badges - though they have beena nice diversion while they havent been able to do anything which wil yield experience.

Well it wasn't meant to be rude, but perhaps a bit insulting.
I've done every mission and story arc I could, too. And all the TFs. I've done each TF at least ten times. Once Issue 2 came out, the Manticore TF bug reared its head. I've done the TF twice since then, each time deciding to quit the TF and do it again sometime after it's fixed. But people that haven't gotten the badge (and, let's face it, that's the reason quite a lot of them are even concerned about TFs now) can't finish it and are afraid they'll outlevel before they complete it. I just find it funny that a lot of people couldn't be bothered with TFs until there was a shiny reward for doing them.
But as one poster above said, if you do level but don't train up, you'll still be at the necessary security level to run the TF again.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Well, I consider myself a TF addict, did them all, and when I reroll a new hero, will do them all. But since Manticore has been broken, I turned to badge hunting, got me 107 badges so far, and Manticore is stalling my game.
So, maybe you are frustrated byt hose who only hunted before update 2, but your comment was so general in its saying, that you missed the point.
Bottom line...
You are forgiven

Thank you. I am now looking further into this issue and the extent of the fix.

P.S. Feedback from any who have tried this TF since the most recent patch, starting fresh or not and whether this is working for you currently or not will be very helpful. Thank you again.

Well, vyv, looks like it still doesn't work, can we get a post saying so, because we had high hopes, I coordinated an SG TF tomorrow, and I would like to know if I cancel it or not?
So all I've seen are people saying that they could not continue an existing Manticore TF.
Has anyone tried it from scratch to see if it is fixed?
We're also planning on an SG TF tomorrow and would like to know if we should skip it.
Just did it a few hours ago on Justice, I personally spoke ( I was not the leader, but I r teh win at travel) with liberty, she gave me some text I didn't read, I clicked on it and was given a mission in KR.
Completed the TF etc etc.

Started and completed it successfully today on the Pinnacle server.
Good news guys. Thanks for trying it.
I did it today starting from scratch. We also had the original leader quit it about 10 minutes into it so person who talked Ms Liberty was NOT the original leader.
Also it seems like it is back to the normal difficulty that I recall from before Issue 2. Worse case we had (only had 4 team members, 1 who was AFK sleeping) was obviously the Archvillian who I believe was the same lvl as me, maybe +1 but I dont think so. Other than that, there was a time where we had 4 PPs and others attacking at once (a little stressful when only 3 people fighting), but we may have pulled 2 groups.
All in all, a good time.
Started and finished it yesterday on Victory...
It works...
Did it last night on Infinity. Completed
We took the cautious approach. No one, but the leader, talked to Ms. Liberty.

I just checked and I'm still unable to talk to Ms Liberty to continue my existing Manticore, even after this morning's patch. Like others, I'm very close to leveling and would rather avoid having to start over.

Same here. I just got a markedly rapid response from my /petition today (Friday), suggesting that I should still sit tight while the issue is worked on.
I've still got it from pre-patch, and it still won't let me past Ms. Liberty on the Virtue server. Definitely still broken.
Guys, he said that in order to do the TF you need to start over again, getting a new task force.
It's fixed, by the way. I've done it twice today, and got my badge.
