In order to reward loyal and long-term forum members of CookingForums.net, we have the following usergroup promotions in effect.
These are also in place in order to help ward off "signature spammers" whose sole goal is to register and post short, low quality posts in order to place a link to their site in their signature.
Once a user's post count reaches a certain range, they automatically get upgraded to a different usergroup and are granted special perks.
