Ranks
Firstly it should be noted that post count only increases for posts made in the sections relating to the specific websites, not those made in the Launchpad section. And that post count will decrease as posts are deleted.
You must be registered to post at these forums.
New Members have the rank of Neophyte Member: they cannot upload avatars, profile pictures, send private messages, upload or download attachments.
When the member has both been registered for at least 7 days and have at least 10 counting posts then they move to the Junior Members rank.
Junior Members can upload both avatars and profile pictures, can send private messages and can download attachments. However they cannot upload attachments at this rank.
When the member has been registered for at least 30 days and have at least 50 counting posts then they move up to the Senior Members rank.
Senior Members can do anything that Junior Members can do, except now they can upload attachmnets up to a total of 50KB per member.
When the member has been registered for at least 100 days and have at least 250 posts they move up to the Veteran Members rank.
Veteran Members have their attachments folder increased to 100KB, their Private Message inbox doubled and can now give themselves a custom rank should they so desire.
Permissions can be increased or decreased on a case by case basis; although such instances will be in unusual circumstances only; requesting increased permissions will in general see a reduction in the permissions already granted.
Those associated with the sites in the forums will be given their own set of permissions as a reward for services rendered; all will be at least equivalent to the Veteran Member user level.
