    And we will then be forced to raise the post count even higher. Perhaps rather then making everyone suffer we should raise the required bean count for kenny2009 and PapaGary to 500 ?
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    Nice.
    And I logged last week after years just to customize my profile =S

    Seriously though, do i need only 50 posts or i need to be logging each month besides the posts?

    And whatever happened to my posts? Lost all of them from 2006.

    You can easily get 50 beans by helping out in the beginners forum.

    The lost post/beans is properly when we archive old post and threads. We all lost beans in the process.

    There ARE other ways to make that happen
    (that don't involve infractions)...

    I just don't understand why obviously legit users have to suffer. I've had an account here for years and never spammed once. Now I suffer the same fate as spammers??

    Don't worry, the beans and posts will come. I remember when making it to the 100 mark was a big deal for me, then 500, then 1000, and eventually "my beans are hidden."

    Hardly... spammers are eventually discovered and banned.
    As a sidenote, reporting spammers will also gain you beans...
