User Account Levels

To control spam there are two user account levels on this site.

Newly registered members can do more or less everything a regular member can do except.

1. You cannot post in the blog system.
2. You cannot post visitor messages on a profile.

Both are public, but not very visible, posting areas where spam, if posted, is often hard to detect. You can still make regular posts, and send regular PMs. Also the sizes of the images you can upload are slightly more restrictive (but you can still upload).

Once you reach 10 regular posts you will be automatically (within 24 hours anyways) upgraded to the full account level.

As a Junior Member I can't post photos or add buddy's nor can "Registered Users" add me as a buddy. What do I need to do to become a full user of this site? Is it simply time?
