Yes, if you go down to the Contact Us link at the very bottom of the page it will bring up a webform that you can send off. This thread is for general questions but obviously if it's about account information or personal things then this isn't really the place for it.
I'll check to see if there is also a general email address I can post here for occasions like that.
In terms of specific post numbers and length of time new members need to be here before their membership changes, there are set numbers where it would happen automatically for people but we aren't actually discussing those specifics as we really don't want to encourage people to just think of it as
just numbers and rush to post that many times in a certain period of time.
We'd much rather that people posted because the had a genuine reason to post rather than posting just to change their membership. What I will say though is that when membership does change for people, I don't think that they'll believe that it took too long or that they had to post too many times for it to happen.
The vast majority of new members have been absolutely fantastic but unfortunately there will likely always be a tiny minority of new people who have joined up to do nothing more than cause trouble, post adverts, show pornographic images, insult people, etc. It's because of those few people that all other new members are put in this position but we are trying to make it as fair and as open as possible while still being able to control the few people who shouldn't be allowed to be members.
Nothing is fixed though and if something genuinely isn't working then we can always look at changing how we do things.
