The levels thing is a standard method for forums to indicate participation and knowledge levels but it is not that important.

Newbie 0 >
Jr member 30 >
Full member 50 >
Sr member 100 >
Hero member 300 >

I have temprarily changed the settings to:
Newbie 0 >
Jr member 10 >
Full member 20 >
Sr member 50 >
