Difficulty level 'to be determined'

[bastislack]

Currently there are manydifferent opinions on the difficulties of tricks that are at level 7+. So I would suggest to use a level '?' that is shown in the ui as 'to be determined'. This way people can try them and see for themselves how hard they are and when we get more feedback, we can try to put them into the 'correct' levels.

Good idea! But should we still give them an estimated level, so they don't bunch up at the end of the list? I see the problem of having 4-5 tricks like this with maybe a wide spread of difficulties at the end of the list...

What about marking them as "new" (was talked about before somewhere) and adding little text to say that for new tricks the level is not so clear yet.

We updated the difficulties in the google sheet and we don't have that many undetermined tricks because we did estimate the difficulty for tricks that we could give an opinion on. I feel like we should mainly depend on people up-/downvoting tricks (see #257). But I think it's also cool to integrate the community a bit so we don't have to do all the work (e.g. we created a description saying: 'We haven't figured out yet what's going on here. Look at the video and help us by updating the description.'). I like the idea of motivating the users to help us grade new tricks (via #197).

@WaldemarLehner what is the best value to use in the google sheet to indicate a level is 'to be determined'? Maybe -1 could be better than '?' because it's a number, or just a blank field (so have difficulty level as nullable type)?

How would you feel about "TBD"? Common abbreviation for To Be Determined

Ok, I thought that could create some type errors when loading this data into a 'number' object? But if we preprocess the data before loading we can also put 'tbd'.
