how do i know know when im an active member

hi yall,
i just got 3 infractions for not being an active member here, ive got like 25ish posts and i woulda thought thats beong on my way to being an active member, i even started a hello thread ect.

so my question is...

1) where the hell can i find these rules to do and not to do, dont say faq's, ive read those and i seem to get infractions for that. Seriously, some solid rules cause im not the one posting stupid threads like how do i know how many backlinks i have or stuff like that. you mods (some) need to calm it.

2) when am i classed as an active member?

i see myself getting banned soon and i dont want to be, its a nice community here so i just want to see some solid rules if possible.

 

All the rules are in the FAQ links. Read them thoroughly. Every one of your infractions is covered in those rules:

1. You may not post to say you're interested in an offer or to make an offer (do it via PM).
2. You may not post solely to advertise your websites. That's link spam (you were lucky and only got 1 pt infractions for that when you could have gotten a 5 pt infraction each time.
3. You may not advertise until you have 25 valid posts (not something we'd consider post padding or something violating the rules) and until you've been a member for 14 days.
