Pearl, Sapphire, Diamond etc are just user titles based on how many posts you have. They really don't mean much

Pearl, Sapphire, Diamond etc sólo son títulos de usuario basados en el número de mensajes que han escrito. La verdad es que no significan mucho que digamos.

Ahora te daré una versión más usual de lo que habías escrito:

Congratulations Gemma! Like you, I have also written 100 posts, but I took a month to do it.

Gemma, please you continue so.
Keep up the good work!

Un comentario: keep up the good work! es literalmente sigue haciendo un buen trabajo, pero es muy común y se usa como cuando dices ¡síguele!

Great job, David. The more common way to say things in English is usually quite different, isn't it? That's what makes learning Spanish hard, too. We feel like we have to reword everything (reorder quite a few words) to make it work.
