I think there is still a problem with this, unless a person entering,
has atleast a minimum requirement for the field they are entering. (Thus
you have to rating of novice, intermediate, expert for each type of arts
& science you enter.) I see no problems with moving yourself up a
category, but entering below your stature shouldn't be allowed.

Of course it's a completely different kettle of fish keeping track of
everyone's ratings. I guess you could only keep track of intermediate
and expert and assume everyone else is a novice until proven otherwise.
