took me a good while to get it but i had to prove i was not just some creep and your amount of posts is not enough, at least thats what i know
It seems that there should be at least 50 posts? In this case, our friend is already at the finish line.
Only 50 post?
No, there's more to take from it then just 50 post. People would be padding their post like crazy if that was just the only rule. Like for example, in your introduction you have 10-11 post alone just as replies. If you have a topic where you are replying to multiple people, it should properly be one reply. For example:
Quote person A:
Blah blah blah
Quote person B:
Blah blah blah
Quote person C:
Blah blah blah
That's just an example of course. We can understand time between post, but right off the bat that would appear as padding.
What's also taken into account is actual time here. You've been here less then a month and the community needs time to get to know you.
Lastly, and one of the teen specific mods or another mod can say differently, but you are the older side of the teen area. Most of them entering the teen section are 14-17. 18 and above from new members are generally considered already aged out as their teen years are pretty much done, like when you turn 20 in less then a year.
