I tried to create a sub, but the site says "you must be level 2".
What does it mean?
oh, i didn't realize we started at level 0. that's a curious level to start at.

[what if instead we start at the ground level, man, and instead of a circled number on your user page, there's a graphic of a building, man, and every level you get, the building gets another story, man. you could, like, have a couple badge achievements along the way like at level 2 you have a quaint house badge, at level 50, its like a skyscraper badge and, like, at level 126,000,000 you get a doge badge for getting your building to the moon, man.](https://i.imgur.com/8pp2jg5.jpg)

Not really. It's a site designed by programmers. One of the first things a programmer learns is that numbers start at 0, not 1. To non-programmers 0 represents nothing, so it is generally disregarded. But from a programming perspective it is just as valid a position as any other value, so skipping it could be wasted space.
It also works like a secret handshake among programmers. Any time you see someone start a count with 0, you know they are a part of the geek club.

the site has a point system, each time someone gives a phuk about something you post, you get a point. every level takes exponentially more points but level 2 is only like 10 i think, i forget the exact formula and i can't remember where we have talked about it before.
at any rate, @polsaker @pembo210 i think an faq is needed
