I am a Master in Halo 4 but i am a recruit here. I post, i reply and from time to time i might get in a little bit of trouble but does that make it so that i am nothing more than a recruit.

Try reading this it mite help.
If you’re talking about forums ranks its best to look at what Smiley posted as Rankings in game aren’t tied to your Waypoint rankings.
Waypoint is based off posts you make.
But as Smiley said. Just look at the link and you’ll understand how Waypoint rankings work.
If you’re talking about your Spartan in game then read the bit I put bellow.
V
I noticed your Spartan is also a recruit. (in game)
Is this what you’re talking about because a few people have posted their spartans not updating. All I can recommend is to change the armour and leave the armory. GO back in and change it to what you had and then play an online game. (SpartanOps or MM)
Currently you have 202 posts and the next level up will be Marine when you reach a post count of 501 and you will no longer a recruit.
The game status does not reflect your forum status which has its own ranking system which smileyken has directed you to read and review.
To find out how many posts you currently have while signed into the forum click on: My Profile/View Profile/Statistics and it will give you the info.
Welcome to waypoint!
All of the aforementioned will get you to rank up in the forums, good luck spartan.
Remember, keep it clean!
Welcome to Waypoint. Keep your posts frequent, and positive. 
By getting your post count up, don’t spam though.
