Well, since I have been on this site for almost a year, and still haven't levelled up, I am going to write this to see if I can level up. It's confusing, since I have definitely found people who have made fewer contributions, yet are much higher level. It's not even that being a high level is even that big a deal, I would just like to be able to make contributions, which was the original reason that I got this account. That has backfired I suppose, since I have been sitting around for months, unable to contribute. It would probably be useful for the site to provide clearcut rules for levelling up. It's slightly ridiculous that I might get levelled up by posting a blog, whereas, posting more comments on forums than some level 2 users did not level me up. My blog really has very little to do with this site. Comments on show forums are more in keeping with the point of this site, so I don't really see how this system makes sense.
