It doesn't actually take that long to become a Curate (not a Saint, that's level 26; and yes, "Saints in our Book" is misleading in that regard).
I signed up on April 27 2014 and became a Curate on September 4 2014; that's barely more than 4 months. (I've since largely abandoned PM, but that's a different story.)
So being a recent user doesn't really hurt much. And 'sides, what does becoming a Curate really give you, other than an extra daily vote or two? PM has its flaws, but those are social in nature and unrelated to levels, XP, votes, Curates, and Saints.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
