That's not quite right. It's more as though every type of breach of posting etiquette has a severity associated with it, and as you commit any given faux pas repeatedly the effect of each individual humiliation is reduced. For example, someone can make posts with poor spelling and grammar until the cows come home and they'll never do nearly as much damage as they would with a single post advertising Viagra. So you're really looking at something like this, where a_i is the severity of the ith offence and n_i is the number of times the ith offence has been committed. (Assume a_i = 0 when i is greater than the total number of offences.)

Buy Viagra! It's a little pill which can lead to a big result.

...Ignoring the disturbing last post, I will return to the thread and say that I am a good architect. My hold in architecture is working along, and good people have said good things about it. I would also say that I listen to my testers. I have supplied them with what they want in my hold, and I'm working on another room for it right now.

I'd give myself a rank as a newbie as an architect. Not because I am, but because I think it's the healthiest rank to have - you take advice, listen to criticism and improve your work based on it

You're never too experienced to improve, you're possibly the best modern architect, but your holds are still steadily improving.

Puzzle-creating and hold-creating skill? Newbie.
Architechnician? GODLIKE!

That is, to say, scripts 'n' stuff.

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the hold's rating?

I can't make a DROD puzzle worth beans, but I would consider myself a fairly good Dark Scriptmaster. I've always enjoyed games with level editors and scripting engines that you can do anything with.

Fixed. Drod has a level editor that the crators used! u can do everything that creators could!

That's not what I meant. Yes, the lack of hardcoded, unemulatable things is good. But can you destroy the universe with a DROD level? Maybe, but not directly. By "almost anything" I meant the engine was capable of simulating an entirely different game, but there was a limit.
