- Is the NOOB tag based on time or posts?
- When can a noob search posts?
- When can a noob have avatar?
- When do a noob's post no longer need to be reviewed?
I'm not a bot either, can I come out and play?
That is just what a bot
would say.
A few more posts and your noob tag will go. The mods approve the first few posts to ensure you are a real person, then you're good to go. Drop a few meaningful comments on art and this process will be sped up significantly.
You can have an avatar as soon as you lose your noob stamp.
Details on this are found a few pages back in this thread. You'll need to resize your image to 80x80 pixels and it must be no more than 25kb in size. Websites are available to help do that for you, and are detailed in my earlier post.

As to the final question, this was recently answered by a mod:

After your third or fourth post, you'll lose the orange name and be posting uninhibited.
Why do we do this? For every new real user, we discard about 5 fake accounts with 2-3 spam posts each. None of those posts are seen by the community.
Go get posting, dude! You'll shake off the orange noob tag of shame in no time.
