     [20:12:12] <@CelloG> BCarlyon: what we really want is once an occasional bug reporter to easily upgrade 
                to a developer and maintain a history of those old bugs


===== Karma and User Levels =====

Support needs to include the different karma levels which currently exist, in regards to different user levels.

===== Proposed System Flow =====

If user not logged in
     captcha, store email address
else if bug.count by email >= 3
     request email auhentication to disable captcha and create username/password  (aka profile)
else
     user is ok, no authentication required as email address is authed.
