Contribution is A-OK, it is the soul of the community!
My comment about ads was because we get a lot of people doing link-farming. They sign up, putting a link to their website (which is usually a porn site) and we never hear from them again. The mods seem to review those case-by-case ... if they are genuinely interesting they are left standing, but many are deleted. Clearly your link is considered OK, otherwise you'd have heard from them
Your reply already sets you aside as a genuine contributor, the trolls don't make any effort to join in or fit in. Proving, in a way, that "it's not what you do it's the way that you do it" that matters.

Most important is to have fun - if you're having fun, the RA dosn't matter does it, right???
As you go, you will accumulate both K and A, and before you know it, your RA levels up ...
and on the way there, I can reassure you that aside from a few pics and a couple of spicy posts by seniors, you're not missing anything important. More than 95% of the reports are open to all.
