registered-user promotion critertion?

[zhgong007]

Hi, all
I'd like to ask, what is the promotion criterion for registered users for this forum? I have been thanked for more than 110times for 10 posts, but my status is still newbie--I am upset

it should be mentioned that I have read this : http://forum.exetools.com/showthread.php?t=6206
and I believe I should be qualified for this : ""After a New Member has been a member for 7 days and has 7 Posts, they are eligible for promotion to "Trial Member."
