Hi, I thought that the activity would increase by 14 every two weeks, but why I have 18 after 3 days?

If you register right before the tuesday in which activity is rushed, its possible to do it in 2 days, even one day, if you post a lot.

Make 28 posts and then you will have 28 activity. You'll be able to get another 14 points on the 30th.

Ah nice, I didn't know that, thanks.

Check this thread for a complete list of activity periods to guarantee you are gaining activity. Remember you can only gain 14 per activity period.

Why is everyone so obsessed about activity just read and post. Your activity/rank will increase with time.  There is not magical prize for being a hero or legendary member that I am aware of....or maybe I missed the memo.

Post delay depends on activity. It is negligible in Full Member+ , but for Jr. Member and below, it is a real incentive.

And secondly, don't forget the signature campaigns which every Newbie, Jr. Member and Member is desperate to join. That is the prime reason for which users chase activity.

Exactly. I still remember how frustrated I was for making a post and how eager I was for getting rid of the 360s limit back in the days.
But since I was a member (posting limit < 30s), it never bothers me again. :P

Once you hit 100 activity, it becomes only 12 seconds.
Beyond that point it drops by 1 second every 50 activity, capping out at 4 seconds at 500 activity.

But really, there is no point. Capping it at 15-30 seconds would make a lot more sense, because if you are posting once every 4 seconds, regardless if you have 500 activity, it is 100% spam.

Assuming the average person types at 60 WPM, 5 seconds would be enough to squeeze out only five words, and that is not including the time taken to read any post at all.

360 is good to avoid spam but it's still to much you have to wait around 30'days to remove it right?

If you register your account at a good time (say, just a few hours before a new period starts), you can get 15 activity within hours. :D

Im posting inside the new period and my activity is still stuck at 42. This just doesnt make sense to me.

It takes upto an hour for activity to update.

IMO You signed up just before an activity upgrade and posted before it, that way you are eligible to 2 (2 weeks periods) so the activity maximum should be at 28.
