Nobody cares about the status. Newbie, by name, no longer restricts anything you can do.
You cannot accelerate your "activity" rating any faster than to post at least once every two weeks.
Bullshit. Newbies have massive post limits. I can't reply to a post, then report another post. I have to wait like 5 min between each action.
Because that was meant to identify spammers and scammers here. If that was allowed then all we can see here are posts full of trolls all throughout the threads.
