The "stranger" status will change as you make more posts.
Points, which are actually an illusion, are gained by someone approving of your posts. You can go different ways, kiss arse, speak your mind, or just rant at everyone. Either method will get you points.
You can also start threads which become popular, which gets you points as well.
Starting a grow journal is the time tested and fastest way to get points.
If you simply take a dozen juicy pics of some bud loaded with trichs, and post them everywhere you go..... believe it or not ppl actually do this.....your points will skyrocket.
