When AOU made the red-pill level I figured it was neat. Red is a lovely color, it fits with the political idea of being red-pilled, and he has tons of points so it makes a certain kind of sense. However, I do have to wonder if there's something more. Levels have always been connected to some kind of functionality whether that be seeing downvotes, being able to search for comments and posts, or how many subs you can make. Are we not being told everything about this new level because previously only an admin attained it? I don't mean to add any fuel to the "these admins are bad" discourse, but they've both continuously dodged my questions (which is a bit hurtful as I had regularly defended their reputations and actions). If it's merely cosmetic, why not say so and put the issue to bed?
