I'm not sure about the trader rep. The unlock secrets are a mystery to everyone. Ken took a guess up there and from my time here, it seems about right. Everyone is encouraged to join the NST, and pretty much everyone does it. It's there to do lots of good things, but mostly to get members to participate in the site on a deeper level and gain trader rep.
It'll allow you to get to know some guys closely and talk to them via pm and share your likes and dislikes. It's a great way to make friends. Once you've done a trade, I do believe that should unlock a lot of other forums to you. That'll allow for you to participate even more, and hopefully join the NST as a CIA, where you'll be able to help new guys along.
Many, many, many guys who aren't new to cigars do the NST. It's a blast. Go give it a try, brother.
