It should be like this. There are abundant Junior members who are mostly post shit. Their post histories are completely shit-show (sorry but I can find other words to express my ideas). Newbies only need to wait 6 weeks to become Junior members, and two Junior members equal to one Member in the signature campaign you shown (of course, if the campaign allows them to join). As you can see, it is much harder to get 10 merits and rank up to Member compared to create two new acounts and rank them up to Junior member. I hope that in the future, merit system will stuck them forever, and new rules of the forum will prohibit Junior members to join signature campaigns.
