Post stickied (I found some gum).

Welly, we do not assume that a new patron is new to the game. Promotion is not based on post count. Promotion is based on our evaluation of the patron and it usually takes several posts for us to make our evaluation. Our forums are considered nice and friendly and we wish to keep it that way. We are simply on the look out for new patrons that would disrupt the forums.

Okay, back on topic.
