The way I look at it, post count is just part of a larger issue. Gathering Storm is big enough that we have no real need for more members, but we do occasionally consider people we have reason to believe would be an asset to the team. That belief might come from a recommendation from one or more current team members who know the person, or it might come from reading past posts that seem insightful and/or interesting.
But if someone is new to Apolyton and doesn't know any of our team members from elsewhere, we have no basis from which to determine whether the person is likely to be an asset or a disruptive influence. And accepting members on a probationary basis isn't exactly safe, since once someone has access to our forum, he could take privileged information with him when he leaves.
The best advice I can give to someone who is new to Apolyton and wants to join Gathering Storm (and the same likely goes for other teams) is, as has already been said, to contribute elsewhere on Apolyton. It's not the quantity of posts that counts; indeed, talking just for the sake of talking is probably more likely to be viewed negatively than positively. But if you can make yourself someone people enjoy discussing things with in other forums, they're likely to think having you involved in their team's discussions would be a good thing too.
If you like playing single-player games and you have time, playing some Apolyton University games could be especially useful. If you're good, it gives you a chance to demonstrate your skills, and even if you're not a great player, it still offers an opportunity to interact with people and show your interest in learning. That's especially true with Gathering Storm since we have so many Apolyton University regulars on our team, but I suspect it could be useful for building up a track record other teams could look at as well.

I meant that I don't wear brown, I am not gardening and I don't have a garden; not that anyone would be interested in this. 
To join the RP-team you have to ask a member for recommandation, and if that member thinks it's cool and the applicant can be trusted, he will discuss it with our King. Then... if the applicant is a roleplay enthusiast or having participated in previous demogames, etc. he will most probably be accepted.
