What GS Level do you consider being the one where you have board credibility?

When I first started reading OT threads, the one that was mentioned as being the "magic number" was Level 20...that was a long while back, and at that time I hadn't yet reached Level 20.:cry:

Is it still that Level, or has it gone up?

Then I guess I have no credibility on here...Or perhaps just other things to do? :P

I felt pretty comfortable at level 10 or 12.

I think it's thirty. It's definitely higher than mine. I don't have any credibility at all. :cry:
:
But I think it's more based on the number of posts.

Not so, Suzy.:P

I levelled-up like mad every day, got the max percentage so I could reach Level 20...and kept on going after that.:lol:

Level 70.

Until then, I think you're all a bunch of attention seeking alt-accounts.

A high level doesnt make a user credible. Take me for example.Big_Bad_Sad

I considered you to have a very high credibility when I started posting.:)

Level 70.

How did you know !? :x

But people have credibility with me when they are good users...level/posts notwithstanding.LJS9502_basic

As long as their post isn't trolling or an obvious alt account, they have credibility with me.

You get credibility with the time I see you post and the quality of those posts over the years. Someone could just be a high level from only watching videos, reading articles, and never posting once in the forums.

Considering the levels displayed in OT now....I don't think 20 fits anymore.:P But people have credibility with me when they are good users...level/posts notwithstanding.LJS9502_basic

Good way to say it.:)

Level/post count isn't really relevant. I've seen users with under 1000 posts with great posting history and users with tens of thousands of posts who are terrible posters.

[spoiler] They won't hang properly on my wall. :x *ba dum tish* [/spoiler]

I don't think they are that important. There are many relevant users with relatively low levels.

I actually value credibility based on whether you actually took the time to set up your profile, which includes an avatar, sig, and any blogs or reviews. If someone level 1 comes on with a well established profile, that usually means they are taking the time to become a legitimate member, and not just a big troll.

Of course none of that matters as much as what the person's actual posting record. You could have 10000 posts and still spew complete BS about how onlive lets you play crysis at 1080p for only 180 dollars.

Level does show dedication to using the site's gaming information...the first half of my time here, I didn't go to the forums at all, I just read reviews and viewed trailers to get a feel for a game I was interested in.

Then I discovered OT.:o

But I still game a lot, and I still go through reviews and videos...posting isn't enough to get anywhere near max percentage in a day.

I prefer not to be discriminatory.

Never did change my opinion...why should I?:P

I'm still working on my forum-cred :(

What do you mean, Sera?

Depends. I would like to consider myself a credible poster. Then again, who wouldn't. Anyways, arbitrarilly chosen benchmarks don't seem to provide the answer.

I think you are...I've seen you consider both sides in a debate, which does give credibility.:)

There are still level 20 users?!:o :P
