An active member is defined as: 1. A active member who is participating in forum discussions/activities. 2. A member with a post count of at least 20 posts but no less than 1 post per day. (So if a member has 25 posts but on average is posting 0.5 posts a day that member is not considered active as this is showing a post count of 1post every 2 days.) 3. A member visits the website for a minimum of 35 minutes a week (This equates to 5 minutes a day in a 7 day week.) However the following rules apply: 1.Active posts are considered posts which participate in discussion, start a discussion or ask a question with purpose.

If you have another account or even more, all the accounts you have will all be banned or maybe deleted.
