It really isn't that hard to get 500+ posts (I had it within a couple of months of joining) even for the casual temper it just takes replying for a few weeks to get there if you really want 500+ posts
A few weeks of hanging around the the 3DS sections SHOULD be enough time to realize that posting 10.x exploit threads everyday isn't going to make one magically appear
Bet you're only saying that because you're at the 500+ mark but below the 1000 mark
OK, perhaps 500 posts is a it harsh. And 2 minute waiting time aswell, at least make those standard for less under 50 posts and join date within a week.
