We probably want a level somewhere between 1 and 1000. Most of the forums where I know they have these levels have one between 10 and 25, presumably to distinguish the complete newcomers from the folks who've been around for a week or three, so it's become expected that something happen at the dozen-or-so-posts mark.
EDIT: Oh! How does "Registered Lurker" sound for the zero-post level? That would free up "New Member" for the 1-post level, and "Member" for the dozen-or-so-posts level.--
