Does anyone know the various member levels on this website and their requirements? Newbie, Member, Regular, etc.....
Unfortunately those don't show the new naming system.

Agreed.
As a usual response to such questions (which are actually perfectly reasonable) is to direct the person who asks the question to the 'FAQ' section, (rather than taking the time to answer the question asked), it might be a good idea to actually show the full naming system there as well.
Newbie => 0 - 29 posts
Member => 30 posts
Regular => 100 posts (minimum required to post in the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum)
6502 => 250 posts (minimum required for access to the Marketplace forum)
6502a => 500 posts (minimum required to have an avatar)
65816 => 1,000 posts
65832 => 1,500 posts
68000 => 1,505 posts
68010 => 2,000 posts
68020 => 2,005 posts
68030 => 2,500 posts
68040 => 3,000 posts
601 => 4,000 posts
603 => 5,000 posts
604 => 6,500 posts
G3 => 8,000 posts
G4 => 10,000 posts
G5 => 12,000 posts
etc....
Demi-Goddess, Demi-God or Contributor => Member who has contributed to the site and has chosen to use one of those three titles.
(Moderator) suffix => Member who is also a moderator
(Moderator emeritus) suffix => Member who is a former moderator
macrumors god => administrator
Actually those are the new levels for those titles.
No further information about levels above that (Intel CPUs) is publicly available. There was some effort to try and figure them out here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1518425/, here too: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1520077/ feel free to contact the admins if you think they need to publish that info in the FAQ.
If you look at the top 50 thread, you'll note that that pretty much captures the ranks above G5. i.e. there are only about 50 users with said titles, many of us hiding behind other titles like Mod, Mod emeritus, Demi-god, God, or even Guest.

Then, the top 50 thread is for you! It's all about lists and facts.Nevertheless, (a sorry confession, this), I'm the sort of nerd who likes lists, and dates, and facts.....
However, it seems to me that there are two separate issues here. One is the tendency to direct newbies to the FAQ rather than answering their questions.
However, even allowing for that, I think on this particular issue it sort of misses the point to direct newbies to a FAQ which does not, in fact, really answer the question asked.

I generally agree with you. However given the fact that we just changed the levels makes the FAQ the only authoritative place to get the information that is sought. it could be different the next time this thread comes up in a search. Posting the table or a paragraph expanding on it just leads to stale information.
Again, in this case the question asked is fully answered by the FAQ. The FAQ contains all the levels for "Newbie, Member, Regular, etc....." up through G5. They specifically did not ask for the higher levels only the lower ones.
Unfortunately anything beyond this is really in the admins' hands. Only they can set the levels and write the FAQs.
