This rating is just the amount of responds you do to peoples discussions. I really dont think that 200 is a hard number to reach. Ive been a member for bout a week and Im almost at 100 and Ive been coming to this site on and off when I find time. On average Im here about 20-30 min a day. I guess they really dont want people to be using smileys unless they can tell for sure you are committed to this site.

Post and post and post and post! All of us have been through that "requirement" before. Don't be carried away with the "deprivation" of smileys. Work your way to it! :)

The rating points are mostly based on how many discussions you respond to. For every response you make to a discussion, that number in parenthesis next to your user name goes up by one. If you start a discussion, then respond to at least two of the responses left by other users, then that number will increase by two. Once that number reaches 200, you will be able to use smileys! So keep posting! You'll get there soon!

As I post this answer I see that you have 192 post counts to go. Don't sweat it, 200 will come soon enough :)
