New site features coming soon
I've been toying with the idea of adding user levels to the site, and I think I will go forward with it.
I think it will give a little more incentive for folks to interact with the site. Heck, I might even bring back the monthly contest, which you can read more about in the Site News Forum.
The user levels that I have fleshed out are explained below. Note that this is what I am going with at the moment, and may be fine tuned for usability.
Posting here for visibility, this information will also posted in the Site News forum.
