I don't know who restored me to level 12, but thanks.  Maybe it was software working slowly, but I am now able to edit and approved my first submission.

I haven't been on the site for months, as I got tired of waiting for my backlog of submissions to be processed.  I just logged on today and found that I am now editor for my favorite tv actress and am prepared to assume those responsibilities.  I tried to do a few submissions, but somehow I am back to level one.  How can I be an editor with over a 100 submissions, but be back to level 1.  I think I was over level 10 last year.

The slope has gotten a lot steeper. 8 new accepted submissions and a review pushed me only from 10/10 to 10/19. Da rules have changed. I'll try another submission barrage to reality check. Small things like a blog post seem to be worth 3 points.
