The glass ceiling of RationalWiki is the barrier between RW1.0ians and RW2.0ians. While the original members may move freely up and down the RationalWiki social ladder without limit, non-cabalists are unable to surpass a certain level of respect and influence.
This has practical implications. For example, the odds of a site-changing proposal being accepted is closely tied to the proposer's social status. The probability of a non-establishment member ever being promoted to bureaucrat—regardless how big the wiki grows—is practically zero.
An exception is Pinto's5150, who is not, and never has been a member of the Cabal. Nor was he a member of RW 1.0.
Another exception is Kels. Although she was not on RW1 she seems to have cabal status.
