I would just like to say this is not official, it is only a proposal by me.

Lately there hasn't been many usercane updates by the National Usercane Center, or by anyone for that matter. So I have an idea to make it easy to calculate usercane intensities and make it easy to calculate your own usercane intensity. Here is the proposed formula/scale:

Proposed Usercane Intensity Determine Formula/Scale

Edits ÷ Days on this wikia = A (Edit Average)

If A =

<1 = Weaken 5 mph per advisory

1-2 = weaken 5 mph per 2 advisories

2-3 = No change

3-4 strengthen 5 mph per 4 advisories

4-5 Strengthen 5 mph per 3.5 advisories

5-6 strengthen 5 mph per 3 advisories

6-7 strengthen 5 mph per 2.5 advisories

7-8 strengthen 5 mph per 2 advisories

8-9 strengthen 5 mph per 1.5 advisories

9-10 strengthen 5 mph per advisories

Black listed = Intensify 5 mph per month if edit average is 5+, if edit average is below 5 but above 3, intensity remains the same. If below 3, usercane weakens according to scale.

Promotion = Intensify to minimum category wind speed

Demotion = Weaken to category, strength within category depends on edit average. High edit average, user is a high end category. Of low, user is a low end category.


 * Note = Usercane may stall out at maximum category intensity, being that it is the admins choice to promote the user. Same goes with demotions/weakening


 * Note = This scale determines the appropriate intensity for a usercane, however, it is the administrators ultimate​ ch​oice to strengthen/weaken a user.

I would also like to not this scale does not decide promotions/demotions

Please let me know what you think of it, and let me know if we should use this scale to determine usercane intensities.
