show the "ffr level/exp bar" on ppl's forum posts

[s1rnight]

arguments for:

1) would be good
2) easy way to suss [power levels]
3) we already do this with the d7 badge thing. but now we have the technology to do this fo reals
4) i dig it, you guys
5) new ppl who join will be like woahhhh look at all these cool guys lol
6) division-separated forums might be cool~? i dunno, gives ppl something extra to strive for
7) extra aspect of competition when u see a friend whom post who is a slightly higher level, versus only seeing it when u look at ppl's profiles. makes the climb upwards a little less "lonely"-feeling
8) extra information is good and i think it feels more community-oriented than having forum post counts or w/e
9) we already basically do this with badges i think, so there seems to be demand

arguments against, with possible counterarguments

1) could foster elitism, but i think the community seems robust and mutually respectful enough to avoid this. most ppl who post a lot are d5 and d6 too
2) could give the sense that a lot of the site isnt rly for newbies, since a lot of ppl who post are d5 and d6. BUT this is already implicitly established with the adding of lots of pretty hard maps, so ppl who join already know their position in comparison to others. this would simply make it less obfuscated and easier to find a niche
3) the badges ARE cool and maybe ppl dont want it standardised. but... you could put them in ur sig anyway, right!! maybe u could also opt to customise ur lil level/exp bar given enough credittos

aLright!!! what are we thinkin y'all
