== Current status ==
People seem to have this conception that higher and higher values while at Red means higher and higher traffic and/or out-of-dateness. This is not supposed to be the case. Red by itself means "high traffic and/or high out-of-dateness". The value only exists to capture a community sentiment to whether the status should be moved down to Yellow - there's no status above Red to raise to, so having any number at all above 0 has no practical purpose except making it more difficult to move back to lower levels. Having these high Red statuses like +100 is basically overhyping and overblowing things, and desensitizing people to what the system is supposed to convey.
