What I am trying to implement into campaigns I manage is users must have merits to join. I currently am allowing users without merits to join(partially), but have started paying higher rates to users with merits. Eventually I will make it a requirement to have merits in order to join campaigns I manage. I would also like to go as far as you must earn merits each week to stay in a campaign.
If all managers do something like I mentioned above, then eventually these shit accounts are phased out and not making any money anymore rendering their accounts useless. With the merit system being fairly new, I can't go full fledged merit crazy on everyone yet. Gotta give ppl a little time to earn some.
Nice to see that you are trying to give preference to members with merits in your campaigns. However, I think that with current situation it might be hard for all campaign mangers to implement this their respective campaign especially for ranks like member and below. Do we even have that much candidates with merits in lower ranks ? My personal observation is that it is getting tougher day by day to get more merits as the default merit points have dried up. One question for you, while checking the posts for eligibility in signature campaign, do you merit any deserving post ?
