Okay, I really hope you realize the "complaining about the merit system" posts were AFTER I originally posted on this thread. And the "trying to join a sig campaign" post was because I thought I was receiving Full Member to apply for the sig campaign which I already stated early in this conversation. Posts in the off-topic board are from your point of view not worth merit? That makes 0 sense considering the off-topic board is very helpful to a lot of newbies. And my sales threads do not count considering I am SELLING services, not providing help to anyone. So therefore your whole comment is basically pointless.

Let's check your reply again:

I've made over 20 posts since the merit update and have received exactly 0 merit from anyone. Go through my posts if you want, they are better than most peoples. Obviously here and there are some that didn't have much thought put into them. But most of them are HQ.

1. The merit system was introduced 24 January.
2. You said you have made 20 posts since the "merit update".

Since the merit system addition, you only made 12 posts (which 5 of them are from your Netflix account selling thread). This means that without your sale thread that "does not count considering that you are selling services", you only have made 5 posts + 3 complaining about the merit system. So therefore your whole comment about having received 0 merit for your "20 HQ posts" is basically pointless.

Again, where do you deserve any merit?

You can sit here all day if you want and discuss with yourself whether or not I deserve merit. My point is, that I was 8 activity away from getting Full Member 2 weeks ago, then this update came out, and now I am months, maybe even years from getting Full Member. This update might be good for some users that are already high up in ranks, but for others, it is nearly impossible.
