Platinum status at ezinearticles

After you have submited your first 10 articles abd they have been accepted, how long does it take to become a Platinum Author?

 

I've submitted 16 and I'm still on 'noob' status Would be interesting to hear the answer without doing the obvious thing and reading through their site though

 

Do you have the "Basic Plus" status?

I am presently just "basic" and it won't let me submit anymore articles. I only have ten on there, 6 have been accepted

 

I found this on their website's FAQ

"What are the different membership statuses?

There are three levels of membership at EzineArticles.com - Basic, Basic Plus & Platinum. All new members start at the Basic level with 10 initial article submission credits. Once these initial 10 have been submitted, our staff will then review the account for possible upgrade to Basic Plus or Platinum Level. The decision to upgrade is based primarily on whether or not the initial 10 articles submitted have adhered to our Editorial Guidelines and the general content of the articles.

Basic PLUS membership level is given to authors whose initial articles have not consistently adhered to our Editorial Guidelines but the articles still have good quality content. This membership level allows for an additional 25 more submissions. Once these 25 submissions have been used, we will review the account for further upgrade.

Platinum Status allows for unlimited article submission. This membership level is given to Basic members whose initial 10 articles have adhered to our Editorial Guidelines and to Basic PLUS members whose 25 additional submissions have kept to those guidelines.

The best way to reach Platinum level right away is to review our Editorial Guidelines BEFORE you start submitting articles and then adhere to them with your articles."

 

I'm Basic Plus...now 8 more articles to go

 

One thing they don't mention in there is that they need to be good QUALITY articles. The better the quality, the quicker you'll be accepted. I was accepted right off the bat. I didn't have to go through Basic Plus. I think it happened within a day too, but this was a few years ago now.
