I want to become an active member and because I've been reading the Org for about a year I know I can make a contribution.
Promotion is not based on post count but on contribution. If you post regularly in a friendly and helpfull manner you will be promoted soon enough. I don't know which particular case blazer-glory is referring to, but occasionally the moderation-team will single out a new member for early promotion. Conversely, spamming will delay promotion and trying to upset the EH with politically laden messages is asking for the ban.
