Re^2: A Level Playing Field

[dws]

It is extremal illogical to have 7 ranks whose aggregate has under 10 total users.

It's called "planning for growth", and is an entirely sensible thing to do. To not do so now would mean laying out new ranks again in a year or three.

There was no forum or poll that allowed the users to vote on this decision.

Where, pray tell, did you acquire the notion that this was a democracy?

Vive la vroomocratie!!

What is more, there was a discussion about the matter, and the proposal was on the whole very much favourably received.

See A Proposal for Additional Levels for the discussion. Evan may be forgiven, for judging by the node ids, the discussion was held quite some time before he joined up.
