Whenever one makes a thread they are given eight options to set the level at. From highest to lowest ...

7 - Jot (forgot the title ... Admin?)
6 - Demi-god
5 - Scribe
4 - Patron
3 - Citizen
2 - Newbie
1 - Dayling
0 - Guest (Anybody)

This is who can read your thread/journal/page

The reason that Chatpage only has seven options is because you have to be registered on the site to see the chatpage ... so Level 0 is automatically taken out.
