Positron did not say anything about changing the requirements for TFs, only for Hazard Zone entrance, so I would assume that all players on the TF must be the right level.
Remember, SKing changes your Combat Level, not your Security/Threat Level. TF/SF requirements involve minimum Security/Threat Levels.

On the plus side, super sidekicking should, in theory, boot everyone up to -1 the leader's level if they're not already there, so you won't get any more people in Positron TF at level 10 claiming they do fine against level 15 or higher enemies.|

If you want to power level, do it in AE, not in a task force! XD
But wait, if the leader is at level 10... will everyone higher be exemplared to level 10?

I am SO hoping that people are auto-skd to the highest level of the tf/sf. One of my pet peeves is the player at the lowest end of the tf who says "I'll be fine" when they refuse an sk. I couldn't agree more with the sentiment that you power level on your own time, not on mine in a tf. |

I'm also interested if the solution for tfs (whatever it may be) will be the same one used for oro.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
As I understand it, the auto-sk/exemp will be to the mission holder, or team leader if out of mission. In the case of a TF/SF, I would assume that means team leader, who is also leader of the TF/SF, so yeah....make sure they are not level 10 
Since its been asked several times, but not answered, I would bet on no change from the current rules, meaning you must be the minimum actual level to be in the TF. How the eligable members are SK'd/Expempted after that, probably the same as any other mission currently.

So a level 1 could actually get a Rularuu weapon? |

Theoretically, if they got to the shard, and were on a team that killed enough of the enemies that are required for that badge (I highly doubt that a level 1 could even kill one of the level 40+ critters in there without being on a team, let alone enough for the badge)...forget exactly what they are. Isn't there a shard mission redside that isn't in a level-restricted zone? Theoretically, if so, its possible there now.

You need to kill the Overseers for the Visionary badge (those eyeball bosses), or complete one of the handful of Shard story arcs redside (since Overseers redside are so rare)
Or, complete a Shard TF...
