I've seen someone, whom I happily forgot by now, having been 'acting a bit like Ted Sandyman', yes sir (m'am), with my very eyes...

Is "--- has shown the wisdom of Gandalf" as high as it goes?

I think that it might be, since it is continues to apply when the "green square" count increases from two to three. Although I suppose that titles might become more spaced out as the points tally increases. Perhaps one joins the ranks of the Valar on acquiring four green squares.

Looks like we're counting on Fordim Hedgethistle to find out for us.

"--- has been acting a bit like Ted Sandyman" is the lowest that I have seen, although I suspect that it might go lower than that. Given the high standard of posting on this site (and the fair-minded nature of our members), we might never know.

There are definitely more levels to discover in both directions.
That three squares don't equal a new level is coincidence, or rather, the lack of one. The titles are set to certain threshold numbers, as are the squares, but they don't necessarily coincide in all cases.

Last time I looked I was 'newly deceased'. I like it.

And I have been 'acting a bit like Ted Sandyman' too. I have a funny feeling that I have sinned.

There is a (I guess) former Downer who made one post ever, and this person is ahead of such greats as HCIsland and Lord of Angmar in the reputations list.

Wow. Must have been some post!

There's your answer.

And, to Quote the BW himself:

I chose to keep the text of the different levels secret as a kind of incentive to strive for the next surprise. Giving the list would likely have turned into a discussion of the list, which I didn't want.

I guess we're just going to have to accept that it is just one big mystery, the carrot in front of the mule, as it were, to get us all to write nice, informative, good posts.

I suppose that we'll just have to accept the fact that we'll change when we change.

I do know that when you reach 50 you become "No Fool of a Took" and "Faithful as Samwise" when you get passed 100.

I'm hoping for something along the lines of '...the Might of a Wight' or '...the Mana of Manwë.'

Maybe we should keep a tracking device on Fordim or Daven for the answer
