Seperating beginners from the rest.

[Roy]

I think this is a solid idea on paper. The actual result will probably lead to extreme levels of competition between beginners who will want their "upgrade" to Experienced, not to mention it'll be pretty complicated to sort things out - it's extremely subjective and could potentially hurt feelings.

Seems unnecessary. People will be asses to newbies no matter how separated they are. I'm led to believe that's obvious after the years I have spent with the community, anyway.

Exactly what happened to me! I just joined last month, &, well... not going into details...
