Sure, you can still become an established member after you meet the criteria. https://www.digitalpoint.com/help/established
I've seen members join up and become established within a few short days. How often have I seen members get 3 or more likes with just one post? Give it a shot and see where it goes. It's largely all about contribution.
thank you. and will we receive an email saying we're established when we do? or an alert? how will we be notified?
Your avatar will reflect the change when you become established. Can't remember if you'll be notified with an alert, but I'm 90% sure you will be.
If you don't get 3 likes then you cant get established? Is there any other way? There is no way to ensure that anyone would like your post
Corrent. No. Correct, which is part of the reason it's only 3. If you were insured that everyone liked everything you wrote, you would need more like 500 or so.
