I get a little chuckle out of the level system. I'm not bashing it because I think it's great to help foster community and sharing. I find it funny because it reminds me a bit of Scientology. I wonder what will be revealed when I reach level 10? Just as long as I don't have to hang out with Tom Cruise or John Travolta.
Don't know, less than a month in I'm now a Level 7 and my profile says the privileges are TBD. Assuming that means To Be Decided, as standard, I guess a semi-mythical Level 10 or site admin is going to look through my profile and posts and decide what I might be good at... or that I'm simply a fuckup at socializing in person who is using this site to make up for being too Autistic to get along with people IRL.
It also keeps the site refreshingly free of trolls, spammers and perverts, while still allowing it to be free to use.
Are level 10's added as new admin?
@teslanesta (Aaron) Please do tell us why (briefly) it reminds me of the scientology level system. What do you have to do to change levels in Scientology. Lets all try to get John Travolta onto this site? (joke)
Five more points for me for responding to this post!
Yes but you have to make 5 points IN the post too. Whose counting?
@Mcflewster us. Lol
Yes, you will find out (if you haven't already) there is a lot of mindless drivel posted, just to keep gettin' those points! I only respond to posts that actually have a bit of value, or stike me as funny or interesting. You'll see who the "post whores" are soon enough!
I'm an OT VII on here. That means I am At Cause, can talk to plants, and have control over Matter, Energy, Space, and Time (MEST). Wait until you get to OTIII, where you learn about Xenu.
I'm looking forward to it, all they say I have to do is abandon all my friends and family as well as sign over everything I have of worth so it seems like a bargain to me. I should stop now before strange and threatening people come to my door or I get sued.
I thought it was zordon we got to meet ???
At least you are not being required to jump the goat or kiss the apron.
You have to spend time with them at level 3. I am eager to get to level 5, at which point that stops.
Don't be too eager to advance or you may find yourself boarding a spacecraft full of extraterrestrials headed for Xenu, never to be heard from again.
