Ideas for new User designatons

[Barnard]

By levels, what exactly do you mean? Can you provide an example?

Something Like:
Level 1 - up to 50 posts (+1s would count)
Level 2 - 51-100
Level 3 - 101-150
Level 4 - 151-200
etc.

Of course you would choose how many posts are realistic or meaningful in terms of numbers. You could even raise the number required to attain a level as the levels get greater (higher).

Not a fun descripter, but nicer than "Nube, Beginner, Lowlife," whatever.

Most forums I'm on simply have the number with no ranking.
