I think that's not the case there, you we're accepted with the help of Merit from LoyceV/LoyceMobile,

As we all know LoyceV is a well known here for his/her quality posts that is beneficial to this forum and,
I think with that, it is already a proof that you have done well and it helped the Manager to conduct a fair decision.
In their sensitive case, They don't likely seem to accept the fact that they were rejected even though they meet the standard requirements and also YOU having a least on numbers for FULL MEMBER was accepted.
Looks like there are still Sr. Member slots open, is there any reason I was denied? I met the original Merit requirements and I consider myself to be a quality poster
OP must have other preferences on picking people for his campaign as I think, my application was also rejected but still I tried to resubmit my application for a better review, In fact, the Merits that I have received from the last 120 days is only 1 but in total I also received it all from my posts not from any airdrops or freebies.
