How many posts to achieve a new status?

I was just wondering how many posts it takes to achieve each level. This here is my 50th Post so hopefully its enough to not be a NEWBIE anymore.

Why would I want to do a search...then I wouldn't have a reason to make the 50th post...

a very valid point!

Now... just keep posting until you get promoted to "Geronimo"

Now it would be kinda interesting if whenever someone does post it would give you 1 post point. But people would be able to rate your post on a scale of 0 to 2.....and if you get a couple of 0 ratings it would drop the value of your post to around 0.25 averaged....in fact lowering your rating gain to only a 1/4 of a point for a bad post. On the other hand if you did a good post and people give you a couple higher rateing for the post...a person may actually end up with almost 2 points for a single good post.
I am just using small numbers for an idea....just to get the point across.
This type of posting rating system would promote people to post messages that actually have more value to them then to just post whore messages with no value at all for a single point.

Yup I actually have a Karma Moderation (for the lack of a better name!) plug-in that will enable us to do this. I chose not to implement it because I believe it will be abused and I will end up dealing with a lot of complaints for very little true benefit to the users. Webmasters often implement stuff just because they can which is not a good idea on an uncontrolled medium like the internet. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I need to look for true value add, value perceived and try to identify the point of diminishing returns even before implementing something.

If you rated everything we said then 99.99% would have points taken off for uselessness. Only Michelle would have points left

For goodness sake -- don't chase the titles. Yeah, the newbie thing is kinda funky -- but it's supposed to be.
