What do you think the Mahalo point scale should look like?

The Mahalo point scales that determine which "belt" you are as a user seem to be in flux right now. So, now might be a good time to give some input.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A points system is one of those things that is really difficult to get the right "feel" for until you have a bunch of users actively participating in the system. It seems it was just a liiiiitle too easy to advance, so the system had to be adjusted.

I think how it is currently set up is very good -- although I would have liked to have kept my green belt after the change :)

The current scale ensures that users will have to be very involved longer to max out and get tired of the site, and also helps to ensure that newer users feel like they are still on the leading edge of this site's creation, since even the all-time greatest users are still green belts now.

I think the current point scale is in flux because Jason is trying to ensure he reaches the brown belt before I do. Sure, it could be a coincidence that the day I pass him in points, the belts "suddenly" change. But I don't think so.

Call me paranoid, but even the paranoid have enemies.

Actually, they are just adjusting things based on real-time statistics. While it may not be fair to strip people of belts they have earned, only Jason and I could complain about that at this point. Therefore, be patient and this too shall pass.
