Well, for People Staff, it usually means something like even if your PPD is low, but if you prove that you're regularly active within the forums, you will probably have a better chance. I would think this would usually be in the case of an older member having a long hiatus and then coming back, finding their PPD much lower.

For Design Staff it could mean something like if they help around the Resource Center often and do a good job of answering questions.

Since the PPD is usually as a reference of a person's activity (though not necessarily completely accurate). I know PPD isn't the only requirement, but it seems to be the only one that you actually have to maintain yourself.
