Thanks a lot for the observation.Junior members are particularly at a disadvantage. I see people with a lot of activities, well over 200, at least 6months old without a single merit. It will be nice to encourage them with some merits so they can upgrade to the level of a member
If you want to go to the supermarket, you need to use a pedal cycle. Using an excercise bike involves a lot of activity, but it doesn't get the shopping into the cupboard.
All the frezied activity for merit is counter-productive. Not only does it give the poster with an over active mouseoid a bad reputation, but it clogs up the boards, and hides the meritable posts. Stop being selfish, and give the good posts a chance to see the light and germinate.
