VFL should be the top, hands down.
General should be 2nd to VFL

I confess I liked what we had, but I see nothing wrong with adding a few new categories:
I like
General
VFL
I also propose
All-Vol

I am ok with this except that we need 1 to be negative so they post more than once. Kiffin, Orgeron, someone. Visitor doesn't cut it. Chris Fowler perhaps.

I think the lowest level should be All-Callahan.

Is Starlin Castron Starlin Castro's turrible alter-ego who sucks at baseball?

I would put CPS's all time wins on there somewhere. I know she keeps adding to the total, but it's still the most in Men's or Women's basketball.

Could replace the scout team one with her wins. Would drop it to 1093 as of now IIRC.

if someone just uses the free trial, posts once, and then leaves, could they be a "kiffin"?

I think there should be a "Beard" or "Mountain Man" level.

I agree with Wes (eww, that tasted nasty saying that). The Beard Level should be 666, 'cause evabody nose he's da debull....
