Per our Inactivity Policy, accounts are designated inactive if the account has not made a post within the last 30 days. Inactive Members have several restrictions placed on their accounts:
Cannot view or download files.
300 second flood control (as opposed to 30 for Members).
Cannot create profile status updates.
A maximum of one (1) PM can be sent per day.
Getting your previous rank restored is simple: make two (2) non-spam posts.
