There are 14:

White
White With Yellow Tip
Yellow
Yellow With Green Tip
Green
Green With Purple Tip
Purple
Purple With Brown Tip
Brown
Brown With Black Tip
Black
Black 2nd
Black 3rd
Black 4th

The first week, there were fewer levels and they were much easier to reach. But this isn't a video game to be conquered. When someone Darcy blew away the first couple of levels in a matter of days, Jason revised the belt levels, and then again when someone blew those away quickly. The idea wasn't to get a new belt every few days!

It is still VERY easy to get through yellow in a week or less, though.

I think we've got the right belt levels now and I don't see them changing in a major way again. You can see them all here:
http://www.mahalo.com/answers/points_guidelines

Now, we are only 60 days in to the experiment but it's already clear that there is enough space between the levels for there to be a real difference between yellow, green, purple and brown. That really is the goal: for the belts to actually mean something.

The tips are intended to show a transition from one belt level to the next. So when you get your green tip we'll know "gee, @fo-sho is taking this seriously and soon they'll make it to the next level."

All that being said the belts are *one* indicator of contribution. Best answers and the quality of each answer are much more important. Also, how members treat each other is of paramount importance.
