The nine post limit gets lifted after you pass "newbie" status.Then you can post to your heart's content!
Thank you, that's definitely good to know. If no one minds me asking without reading all prior posts, how does one increase one's ranking/status? Do you post enough non-spam messages or complete enough surveys/offers or is it just something that changes with time?
I am not sure what you are asking, however if you are asking about how a person goes from a newbie to a jr. member and beyond, and increases their status I believe it's just by posting within what the forum rules dictate. If you follow the rules and stay within the 9 post limit until you are a jr. member you should be fine I believe. Your posting level (read the chart below for the levels) depends on how much you post, but the quality of your posts is up to you. There is karma or thanks system on this forum so rating the post quality isn't easy, (However you can rate threads, just not individual posts) but if you go outside the rules the Admin will like deal with that I'm sure with a ban or some kind of reprimand.
The rules are very simple. Here is a link to them and you can find them at the top of forums on the left:

Gold Member----------8--------------2000-3999
The list is incomplete:
Platinum Member---------9---------4000-?
Thanks for providing the list. I learned something from it. Falcon9 you seem to very knowledgeable. By the way I have officially achieved my 50th post as of this writing and am now a jr. member! I don't know if I will ever reach the platinum level, but it's been great here on fusion cash!
EDIT: I think the 9 post per 24 hours rule is still in effect for people past newbie status. I just became a jr. member and again hit the limit for some reason even though it was said preivously that you could post as much as you wanted after you passed newbie status.

Or maybe it's just my account, I'm not sure. Does anyone else past newbie status have this problem? Please let me know if you do.
I know this rule in effect to cut down on problem posters, but for those of us who who want to post a lot on some days and reply to topics it is a problem as someone else said.

Hopefully something can be worked out in the future.
