The moderators in this forum spend quite a bit of time monitoring, and evaluating the members. There are of course, some automated functions that simplify the "Human" aspect of member evaluation. The quality of posts, has as much to do with increased status as the quantity. There is an abritrary membership number of posts however, which I believe is 250, that is not to say 100 quality posts will not gain you membership.

Simply put, if you intend to participate in the community at large, and interact with members throughout the range of forums, you will soon find more of the functions and areas availible to you.
