Posts like this do not help http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=102107&hl= Total waste of time really.. I validate members daily, not sure about other mods but I suspect they do too. Members who are recently active get priority, if your posts are good then you get validated - simple as. I only look at the past 10 ish posts of each member (sometimes less, for example if a member only has 2 posts), and the validation system only shows up your last 50 posts. So even if you have 1000 crap posts under your belt, it only takes 10 decent ones to get validated. By the way, every time I go to validate members I probably look at the posts for each of around 100 of the most recently active pre members, so your odds of getting validated, providing your posts are good, are pretty high.
