So I joined a signature campaign and they removed JR. Member bounties. Now I am having a problem on how to be a Member ranked. I just learned that I need 10 merits to have a member rank. So to any JR. Member here, let's do our best to make quality content so that someone will recognize our efforts in making our community better.
Merit was installed to reduce non-contributive posts overall. Given that it makes ranking-up tougher, but certainly feasible even in a short time span from Jr. Member to Member.
Read through posts that have assigned merit and see how its done. Generally youll find the post to be of meaning and thought through (not always). That is the way to go.
Bounties that require many posts per week may tempt you to write something off rapidly so as to keep your post count aligned to bounty requirements, but this will not get you anywhere near gaining merit. If you are required to post 15 o 20 times per week, try to make them meaningful, understandable and contributive, and not just simple one-liners.
