# MEMBERSHIP ADVANCEMENT AND FEATURES
1. Member participation is strongly encouraged and rewarded, though we insist that you make your contribution to the TFP as meaningful as possible. Please do not post frivolously to achieve status. Our economy does not run on post counts.
2. 250 worthwhile posts will earn you a custom avatar. 500 worthwhile posts will earn you a custom title. That's all you can gain by posting in volume.

If you really don't like your "Rookie" status (which I can understand too) my advice is to read a lot, and post in the threads you find interesting. It will go away before you know it, seriously.
