Hello everyone, I have a question. I have posted 61+ messages, but I havn't passed the rank recruit yet and I am not yet a soldier. I have heard numerous times that once you pass post #50 you will become a soldier, but that has not yet happened to me. I could use some help, thanks guys!

Contrary to your belief, you have not posted even half as many messages as you think.

I havn't? Is there any place where I can check how many messages I've posted? I clicked on the search button below my name earlier today and it said 1-25 of 61. What was I looking at then? Help would be great, thanks.

Yes, click the "Profile" button below your post and then click "Search for all posts by this user."

Ok, I just did that again and it said "1 to 25 of 67".

Posts in the test forum do not count to your post count

Caring about post # = ok

Spamming and such = not ok

They get touchy about that here. Good thing when I asked the same question, Afex didn't go Nazi on me, and demote me to recruit again.

Meh, depends on the peeps. As i said i don't mind being preoccupied about your post #, if you start spamming and replying to every thread even if you don't know what it's about than we have a problem. ;)

post counts are meaningless and only cause spam.

the sooner ppl realize this the better

Sorry guys, I dont really care so much about my post count, its just I thought it was strange that I wasnt a soldier yet. BTW, how did I spam? :confused:
thanks.

I dont care about my post count but I still reply to every thread (or try to) even if I dont know what its about.

You spam when you write messages that no one wants to read.

If you spam enough you can even raise your title from recruit to the covetted and rare title of Guest.

Replying "Yeah :)" to every thread even if you don't know what it's about = spam. :)
