    I think the XP system is amazing, however it could definitely use some tweaks.

      I think its a process like everything else, the XP system is definitely something that helps people going from lurkers to actually contributing which is what I like.

        Yeah, my only complaint is that it needs some number adjusting. Like requiring a lvl 15 user to claim a lvl 4 tribe is a bit much if you ask me.

          I don't think it's really that bad of an idea. A level 4 tribe will have a fairly significant user base to manage, and a lvl 15 user will have a decent understanding of what needs to be done.

            I agree, for a tribe that has grown that much, it needs a level 15 because it shows you not only know your way around the site but you're also active. I'm on one tribe that the chief hadn't been active in a month+ and I worry that they might not ever return and the tribe is seeing a steady increase in members. I've sent them a message but no response yet.

              See, in my case, the tribe I wanted had an inactive admin for over a year, and 200~ members. Personally, I don't feel as though 200~ members justifies requiring a lvl 15 chief, but thats just my opinion.

              Yeah I guess I see your point. I feel like I could handle managing ~200 players and I'm lvl 6.

              Browsing through some of the comments in /t/reclaimtribe, seems that it takes a few months of inactivity for a chief to be displaced. So I see the reasoning behind someone who is more active for a longer period of time before they take over a sub. Not sure how often this could happen, but you could have a new member claim a tribe, lose interest in the site in a few days, and still be chief for months to come.

              That is a problem, and one that I am actively dealing with myself.

              You're talking about /t/personalfinance, aren't you?

              no, /t/piano

              Hmm... /t/piano looks like it's got 4 members and level 1. I believe you should be able to claim it if you want.

              On the other hand, /t/personalfinance had 298 members and was Level 4 last night when I tried to claim it. But it requires a Level 15 tribesperson to do so. I checked just now and it's got 345 members, which makes it Level 5, and a Level 20 tribesperson to claim it. So... it looks like it's going to be a long while before anyone claims that one, unless the rules are changed.

          Wait is this part of the progression to lvl 16? or just a requirement to manage that level tribe?

      It's definitely making me want to be more active, unlocking customisation stuff is great

      • TheDylantula

        Definitely! Like I want a custom banner for a tribe I'm the chief of, so I really want to get to level 6 :P

      Absolutely. I think as more features come out, they might want to move certain ones up levels so that people can access some of the more basic features easily.
