Discussion on the member levels has settled enough that I think it's time to put it to a vote.

We had three primary proposals that came out on top:
  • A list of release codenames to indicate post level:
    • Mistral - 0-24 posts
    • Scirocco - 25-99 posts
    • Gregale - 100-249 posts
    • Bora - 250-499 posts
    • Chinook - 500-999 posts
    • Diablo - 1000-1999 posts
    • Fremantle - 2000-3999 posts
    • Harmattan - 4000-* posts
  • A maemo.org-style header:


  • No member level, no karma.
The voting will "close" in 7 days on April 15th, 2009 (taxes, anybody?). The results are non-binding and a suggestion only (Reggie is free to do as he sees fit).

I like the release names, just change the values for the last 3 a bit:

# Diablo - 1000-2499 posts
# Fremantle - 2500-4999 posts
# Harmattan - 5000-* posts

That makes more sense.

Well, my goal was to try to to keep the interval from growing too quickly when we start adding levels later on.

Since it is an asymptotic function, that's hard to do

But if you don't want it to grow too quickly, you have to factor it into the beginning and not just depress the end.

There are obvious issues with the current system and it needs to be changed one way or another.

I'm totally for no change. The energy consumed on this "irc - who's the @op" topic should be channeled to something more productive :-) no, I'm not trolling.
Whatever levels you set up, and if you are on the highest one, doesn't mean you know more than somebody who just registered.

You may not be trolling, but you are missing the point.

This is exactly the point. The current system suggests that there's some sort of meaningful seniority implied by the member levels, which there isn't, so the goal is to put together a system that doesn't imply anything. Thus, the codenames.

If that's the goal, why the need for codenames in the first place? Just list post counts themselves, or number of hairs on one's head.
