"Names (newbie/regular etc)"

Can anyone tell me how long or how many posts are required before you are classed as a regular instead of newbie?

This information is available somewhere on the site.

Bear in mind this feature has just been implemented, so you might neet to be quite a frequent poster to have yourself put down as a regular already. Maybe some people were started off as regulars because the moderators recognised them

Here it is:

Just Arrived Today
These users have recently registered within the last 24 hours.

Newbie
Newbies are users fairly new to our site.

Regular
You will become a regular after posting 300 or more messages totalling 7500 or more words.

Notable
One new Notable is elected every 3 months by the users of the forums.

Staff Newbie
A new Special Reserve staff member.

Staff Regular
A regular Special Reserve staff member.

is there anyway you can check how many times you have posted, and not counting them all!

My tag may say newbie but i am not new to the site. maybe the non newbies but non regualars should be called average poster.

Is the transition from newbie to regular etc automated or does someone from Sr have to change it.

I think it must be automated. I don`t know how, but a member on the FOG, was a newbie, then they posted, and were surprised to see that they were now a regular.

I don`t know if it was a coincidence, but it certainly seemed like automation.
