You need to get certain requirements.
Basically read a lot of commetns (at least make the blue little circle disappear during intense scrolling), log in every day, get a few likes and posts.
There’s a wrench icon under your posts next to the likes and flags and the reply text.
Also, now you can see it at your profile page as “regular”.
No ,it’s just the requirements in that article are on point.
its not 20k posts read in the last 100, its 25% of all posts in the last 100 days (caps on 20k).
This. I thought you had to nolife 20k posts to get it, but in fact you just have to read some troll topics and threads that do not interest you from the last 3 months, then you can post images/links.
If you visit this forum daily anyway, that wont take more than 30-60 mins of extra reading.
