Technically, the OP opened the thread in 2018, so he should know how to rank-up by now, … were it not for the fact that he was banned (presumably ages ago) …
The thread bumper (4 posts up from your post) would nevertheless be the intended beneficiary right now (plus any other reader who is oblivious on the ranking-up requirements), but so far no move in the recommended direction (180º swerve from bounties, or at least fork posts between bounties and forum engagement).
My suggestion to the OP would be
"Don't get caught" and
"Don't get banned"...
I'd be curious to find out exactly how long after this thread was started that the OP was banned. (just makes me laugh the trouble some spamers go to, get registered, start a thread, post
die anyway and still get banned...)
