How do the signature bounties affect to the merits? I had participated a signature bounty and during that time I did not receive at least one merit. Honestly, during that time, I had to post more posts (to meet signature bounty requirement) it affected to the quality of the posts. But I didn't receive any merit for the good posts (according to my knowledge

). By the way now I'm not participating any signature bounty will see if I get any merits without a signature.
Do you think Signature bounties affect to the bounty hunters merit?
It's not that you don't receive merits when you are in a signature campaign and get that when you are out of signature campaign. Your posts do matter. If they are quality ones, yes they do deserve merits. It takes time to get them. At times what happens is, when one posts, he/she skips reading the previous posts. He /she directly reads the threads and answer the questions reading latest one or two posts made. This would be a reason for your posts get unnoticed. Never give up. Keep providing quality posts. Merits would follow you.
