Below each comment are 5 "buttons". The ones that give points are Insightful, Like, and Awesome. You get points every time someone clicks one of those about your post.
As well, there are badges. You get badges for reaching a certain number of posts, as well as reaching a certain number of insightfuls, likes, and awesomes.
Just be as active as you can in the community, and you'll be a member in no time
Hello @DJMIXMASTER You have the required posts to become a full member, but just need a few more points.
You need to have 50 points and 30 posts before you can become a full member and can then post pictures, have a signature, edit posts , post links and change your profile picture.
This is a link to forum badges that you can earn. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/badges
Okay, so I want to know why we can't edit posts......feels to me like I am back in kindergarden with all these badges.
Happy to soon have a starbelly like all the other starbelly sneeches
Hello @mannanna
You have the needed points and nearly have the required posts to become a full member. When you become a full member, you will be able to edit your posts.
oh is there restrictions on the number of discussions too
Hello @DJMIXMASTER
There is usually a blue new discussion button at the top right hand side of the screen in the forum sections. But new discussion threads though may have been restricted for new members. You may not be able to start a new thread until you become a full member. This occurs sometimes , especially at weekends, even when previously you were able to start a new thread.

I gave you a "Like" on your first post. Hope that helps.
It's been a while since I've been on the forums, myself. I have 48 points too. And it only took 6 years to get!
Let's see, 48 points in 6 years...8 points a year...2 points is 1/4 of 8...so, I should be good by January!

Hello @TheLibrarySim
You nearly have enough points and you are half way towards having the required 30 posts. You will soon be able to become a full member
Hello @samsims
The rank of general is what all simmers except for Simgurus have. Some simmers have after the general rank where they are located such as GB for Great Britain.
Hello
I think that the rank says General if you joined the site from 2014 onwards, when the new forums site was created.
Then for simmers who had earlier accounts, it has labels such as en_US and en_GB
the replies on this post really helped me I've just become a member and didn't have a clue how to get points its a shame people have to wait for others to like their posts and comments to get points it must take a long time to get enough points to do things they want to do.

These restrictions are due to new members posting nasty pictures to the forums some time ago.
