I am doing translations from English into Romanian since May this year, I never got any Merit because my most activity is in the Romanian section of the forum and we don't have so many merit sources. Now I am unable to continue my work because being a Newbie I can't post any image in the forum and I think this is unfair.
Since you said you're a translator and posting an image bothered you, then avail a copper membership wherein even you're a newbie you can still upload images.
