Post and activity are *not* same. "Posts" is total post count. Instead, activity depends on no. of posts you made during certain periods. A period is 14 days[1]. You get maximum of 14 points per 14 days as activity. If you haven't made any post in a 2 weeks period, you will loose activity points in that period forever. However, if you make at least one post in a period, you won't miss those activity points, instead, it gets accumulated and once you post next time, your activity will increase. That is, if you posted 3 times in a 2 weeks period, then your activity increases by 3 at the end of that 2 weeks period and remaining 11 points is saved up for later. When you post next time, in another period, you will be able to get 25 points, either if you post 25+ times or if your "posts" is higher than activity, i.e. 14 points of that period plus 11 points from previous period.

Scenarios:-

1. Consider you have 112 "posts" and 112 "activity". You post one time, then at the end of a period, your activity and posts will be 113. You got 1 activity point and remaining 13 points will be accumulated for later.

2. Consider you have 112 posts and activity and you made 20 posts, then at the end of period, your posts will be 132, but you activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period(2 weeks = 14 days.)

3. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 15 posts, then your posts will be 140, but your activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period.)

4. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 1 post, then your posts will be 126, but your activity will be 126. That is, you get 1 activity point by posting once in that period plus 13 posts (125-112=13).

5. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 5 posts, then your posts will be 130, but you activity will be 126.

is donating can give you free coin badge on your name ?

Why the 14 points per two weeks though? It really shouldn't take over a month to get the rights to properly embed images. Especially if you're just contributing to a specific coin and therefore do not post in other threads..

[whoeier]

Its kind off annoying to get passed by the rules.. trying to post an ICO anouncement.. but due to ruling i can't use any external images etc.. wish it would be more easy, or less blocks.

Thank the spammers that came before you. Picture spam with new accounts was a large problem until this restriction was put in place. If the pictures are important you can ask someone to quote your post or post on your behalf.

I like to believe that this was carefully designed, If It was too easy to rank up, everyone would make multiple accounts and enroll into signature campaigns and start spamming, this is also valid for the giveaways on the game & rounds section. It also takes time for people to reach Hero member so It could be taken as a sign of trust while no one would really trade with a newbie.

Ye I'm afraid I'm forced to do so, i'll contact the moderator of the forum part where i posted it. Will ask him to repost it on my behalf.

Tho its annoys me, I understand the ruling, to counter spammers

I wouldnt ask a mod, just put "first Jr. or higher to see this please quote full so the pictures are shown" or something along those lines in the post.

It seems that I have not received my 14 activity over the past 2 weeks despite being 2 days late.

Thanks for this informative post. Great! now I understand why even I posted countless times in one day my activity points doesn't move a bit

Nevermind, unusally after making this post I gained my 14 activity 3 days late.

[MonkeyManofLife]

This is amazing giving me lots of information on the forums! Thanks!

[lipcoins]

This post is very useful and I've been looking for it since I joined.

I feel it should be MUCH easier to find and maybe there should be a small section at the top of the forum called "Community Rules" or something like that to give clear instructions as to how to go about the forum, posts # vs activity and so on.

Is 14 the maximum amount of activity that you can gain in 14 days? I went from 28 to 42 and was wondering where I could end up next Tuesday. Hopefully 60+, so i'll be a member, but probably 56..

Yes, you can only get a maximum of 14 activity points every 2 weeks.

Your activity will be 56.
