To be honest I don't really want to post anything.  I just want to lurk around and choose my participation on my own and I have been around bitcoin for a long time yet my rank is "only" member.  The requirements of bitcointalk and signature campaigns force many people ,including myself, to make really dumb ass posts.  The entire system of "activity" and "merits" actually creates the very thing it tries to prevent because it creates an incentive for people to create signature campaigns around ranks which require posts, including shit-posts, to participate in.
