I personally think that the system of merit points that the forum started to work with is launched after a precise study.
A lot of users are making stupid posts with no useful content just to ameliorate their ranks and earn much more money.
The forum becomes full with empty content posts. So i do believe in this new technic which represents a control system that fixes the upgrade criteria.

Hey Pajeet - You are going to have to find a new way of income, you aren't going to make the cut here anymore, son, sorry.

Your post history is shit. You can barely type English, and honestly, that merit shadiness you got going on ain't gonna help ya either.

Not sure what country you live in, but you can probably make more $ getting a real job.

Good luck!

I personally wouldn't give merit to OP for what he wrote. As you said, the grasp of English just isn't there to make what he wrote interesting, even if he has a point. I'm making an attempt to give out merit points to noobs who write good posts, but I don't see all that many in the threads I'm reading. I shall keep searching and making that effort.

As far as the money from campaigns goes, if you're living in a 3rd world country and could actually be accepted into a campaign like Chipmixer, you could be living like a pimp. In style and comfort. Hell, I could live off of that kind of money and I don't live in such a country. Not that I'd quit my job to do that. I don't look at campaigns as a way to support ones' self at all. To me it's just gravy--getting paid to do something I'd be doing anyway is a nice reward and something I'm extremely grateful for.

For someone in the Philippines it'd be phenomenal, but unfortunately most posters from there and other countries in Asia have a hard time writing posts in English of good enough quality not to be considered shitposts. You can call that racist, but it's an observation of mine. Yes, there are some great posters from Asia, but they're few and far between.

People want to live off of signature campaigns, and I find this to be a ridiculous proposition. Having a real job, in one of the helping professions, is part of who I am. Being in a sig campaign, by comparison, means very little to me.

You are making a great effort. you can do a perfect job and I'm sure the forum will be better structured and rewarding.
