    Your promotions from one category to the next higher category will be based on your contributions (such as posts, comments) and your reputation points. Example - a "Professional" contributor will get promoted to "Practitioner" category provided he/she makes at least 10 posts and has "reputation point" =1. If a "Professional" contributor has made 12 posts, but doesn't have "reputation point" at least "1", will still not qualify for "Practitioner" category.

    Note: don't forget to ask people to rate your answers and add points for you. It adds to your "Reputation" in the Architect Pavilion.
