Alright. Took a long look at stats and the “Regular” role. One thing to note is that we automatically flag any Funcom staff or moderator/volunteer coordinator to the role so the actual number of ‘normal’ users at that level is far fewer than what’s actually being displayed in the forum stats.
For now, we’ll reduce the required number of posts to view from 25% to 20% and see where that takes us. This change is now active and anyone who meets the qualifications should be promoted automatically soon.
