Of note though, the games forum doesn't contribute towards the post counts for moving up levels.

should note that this all depends on Active Citizenship a well, and above is just the automated system.
I want to be a citizen----like in the Greek City-States!
Thanks for the clarification

Does the "Site Discussion" forum count? (I've posted a fair bit there.)
Bug report:
In my comment above, I tried to use the normal quote feature, editing the quote to contain only the above sentence.
But then, when I clicked "Post comment", I got an error message saying, "You do not have permission include links, images or media in posts. All new members must participate for a time and demonstrate civility before gaining these Membership privileges and then Citizenship."
But my message did not contain links, images or media -- just a quote.
Since I couldn't use the normal quote feature, I used an ad hoc quote instead.(
Yes they count and it's great to have input there

Only if I allow it.
I will allow it.
Joke.
Updated
Are the comments in Random counted towards moving up?
Yes they are
Thoughts on this?
I don't see why they shouldn't be.
For the games forum, not counting posts there makes sense, because posts there are more like taking turns in a game than they are like posts on other subforums.
With random discussion though, you're still making standard comments and posts just as you would on any other subforum, so I personally see no good reason to discount posts from there.

I agree, Random has discussions that can contain quality posts, it's definitely not really conducive to spamming or "farming".
And I think it's easier for new members to engage there in a more relaxed manner until they get access to more forums.
Good reasoning.
Done!
Next?
