You can only get a max 14 activity every two weeks. Not sure what the 30 minutes means.

quarkyplum mentioned that activity is updated every 30min, if he's open to suggestions he can change it to 14days and if he can add the time limit one has to face while posting for e.g: i'm a newbie i have to wait 360secs before posting new comment i'm sure the time limit declines after every level of membership you achieve can you post what is the time limit according to level of membership. :) thanks in advance

Activity does update every 30 minutes.
It is perfectly correct.

Your activity is "stuck" at 14, because it is exactly how activity is calculated.
It is NOT your post count, check the OP again, and you will find:
Activity = min(time * 14, posts)

What are the time limits on posting and the levels??
I know 360 seconds are for new people like me, but was wondering if there was break down somewhere on this.

Code:
waittime = 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);

Of course I'm here! ;D

How else could I moderate this section?  Though it definitely requires a lot less now that people can go straight to the alt-coin section.

Time for activity means days, you get 14 "timepoints" every 14 days.

Waittime for posts is given in seconds.

You can put them in your signature and provide them when people ask for links, but you can't start threads just to post them or spam your referral all over. If someone asks for a good betting site, I think it's ok to use it then, but all over times; no.

^^^ Pretty much this! ^^^

The only time it's really acceptable to post referral links is if someone is asking for a website recommendation.

Not only it has a referral link, that thread also is in wrong section (gambling) and that person got negative trust for being a scammer lol.

EDIT: That thread has been removed by a mod now. :)

What is activity?
  • Increase activity by staying logged in OR posting.

I believe logging in your account won't do the job. The only way to increase the "time" is to make a post in the period.

time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration

Good call, I've corrected the OP.  Logging in does nothing for activity, you are correct about increasing "time".

Also, accidentally edited your post first instead of quoting it!
