BadgesI added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges: https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/expert.png Bitcoin expert | Dev&Tech only. People with this badge know enough about the Bitcoin network to reimplement something very like it from scratch. They are capable of intelligently discussing the Bitcoin network: current protocol, possible attacks, proposed changes, etc. Criteria: Recommendation by an existing Bitcoin expert or core dev and approval by a forum administrator. | https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/qt.png Bitcoin-Qt core developer | Dev&Tech only. These are the core developers of Satoshi's Bitcoin client. They are listed here (http://bitcoin.org/en/development). Core developers are among the top contributors to Bitcoin-Qt, and they are all bitcoin experts, though they don't also get that badge. | https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/hacker.png The Glider(hacker symbol) | Awarded for people who have responsibly disclosed forum security flaws. |
A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs. Limits on postingwaittime = 360; if(activity >= 15) waittime = (int)(90 - activity); if(activity >= 60) waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity)); if(activity >= 100) waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4); Limits on PMsI've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult. Activity | Min. seconds between post actions | Max PM recipients | PMs per hour | 0 | 360 | 3 | 5 | 16 | 74 | 5 | 30 | 30 | 60 | 5 | 60 | 60 | 30 | 5 | 60 | 100 | 12 | 10 | 120 | 200 | 10 | 15 | 120 | 300 | 8 | 20 | 120 |
AvatarsFull Member and up only. It must be no more than 120px wide, 80px tall, and 100 KiB in size. It must be a PNG, GIF, or JPEG image. It must be safe for work. Activity gets you rank. The activity number is determined in this way: time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Yup, these are the answers to your question. Just keep on posting everyday, at least once a day so you can get 14 activities every after 2 weeks around Tuesday or Wednesday.

Choose a topic you like and make posts for it. You can only get 14 activity points per 2 weeks. Technically you make 14 posts in one day wait 2 weeks come back and make 14 more posts again. This way you can get the maximum activity points in one day and not post everyday.

(Member: Activity: 15, gets 2 gold coins under his name.) All ready my activity 22,but i don't gets any position.Why?
He quoted an outdated post describing the boundaries. They have changed since then, as you can see here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.msg1861412#msg1861412). You now need 30 activity to become a Jr Member, and 60 to become a Member.

Yeah, it's not genuine participation this way but I can understand the frustration of writing fully sensible and informative posts and notice your activity is not calculated. I stopped writing altogether and didn't begin again until I stumbled upon this thread simply cause I thought it had all gone to waste. Now tempted to schedule it as a bi-monthly activity...like going to the movies or something!
