MOZ TEAM - your system done broke my status as a guru

[AlanBleiweiss]

Thanks for the link! Must have been Roger.

[MarieHaynes]

Perhaps Roger has concerns about your experience level Alan.  Would you like me to teach you how to do an SEO audit?

[MarieHaynes]

Oh wait.  Apparently I am now an aspirant too.  Booo.

[AlanBleiweiss]

hahaha.  The blind wanting to lead the blind. How many aspirants does it take to change an SEO lightbulb?

[MarieHaynes]

I don't know the answer to that question.  But probably a guru would.  I wish there were some of them around here.

[AlanBleiweiss]

oh wow. I was hoping you could answer it because I need to know!  Isn't the reason I come here so I can get answers to these tough questions?

[DanielFreedman]

It takes three aspirants to change an SEO lightbulb.  One to change the lightbulb and two to explain why it's not probably not important but yet, paradoxically, all the more reason for a long term contract because the situation may change at any time.

We're trying to address the problems of gurus in the industry Alan!

I've sent off a note to the team and we're looking into this. Longer-term, we are going to replace Guru and Journeyman, as well as replace the labels in Q&A with stars representing the levels, to make things visually easier to understand.

[AlanBleiweiss]

I LOVE the notion of stars instead of "guru".  But as I am now a lowly aspirant, it will be embarrassing if I only have like a half star or something.  NO disrespect to aspirants. We were all lowly at one point.

Roger is very dangerous. He looks so innocent on the outside!

If I may make a suggestion stars verse gurus, or we all know SEOMoz has a weakness for unicorns

http://www.seomoz.org/help

And now that we know unicorns are real Beyond any shadow of a doubt because of the North Korean media

I would propose having unicorns over stars or just how many unicorn horns equal guru or Unicorn master

What do you guys say unicorn master with maybe a photo like the thing shown in this URL. Happy Monday everyone
