I'm trying to create a sub, but the sub name "Survivors of Psychiatry" I would like says "Please match the format requested. Alphanumeric characters" when I click the "Create Sub" button after a successful captcha.

Please advise.

How do I get to level 10 and where do I see what level I am at?

Getting upvotes on posts and comments boosts your level. You can click on your name to see your level.

Thanks. I have a "1" in the big circle on my profile. I assume this is my level. And:

Is the Levels algorithm a secret or is the working posted somewhere?

The points required for each level is here: https://poal.co/welcome

You get points by posting things and having them upvoted, by making comments and having them upvoted, and generally trying to be a decent member of the community. It's actually pretty easy to get to 10. Don't downvote unless it's spam.

I would say start by posting your SurvivorsOfPsychiatry posts in /s/whatever and then when you hit level 10 make your sub and advertise it in Subintro. Maybe @AOU will even move your old posts to the correct spot.
