Perhaps you was surprised once you saw that you are demoted to newbie. Today forum admin implement
Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements as well you know. This is real time implementations. May be this rules make disappointed most of people's usually. I want to say be disappointed or emotional. Rules for build a decent forum together, and it was necessary. Don't be upset. Do you know wise word of Adlof Hitler?
"If you don't like a rule, just follow it, reach the top and change it" - by Adlof Hitler
That's true. However even you can't change rules but you can contribute your skill and experience to forum. Admin always respect useful suggestion from reputed member's.
However some personal suggestion from my side that you can follow to earn minimum merits to become Jr. Member again. This is totally my personal opinion, don't care if you aren't not agree. You can avoid it if you aren't not agree.
1. Delete your spam post:You should delete your post those are really you think a spam. Especially those are just you made for increase activity or for signature campaign(include your bounty reports those are unnecessary). Most of merit source will visit your post history before send merit to you. As far as I know they always try to avoid one liner. You might think that your activity will decrease if deleted your post. But there is no meaning of your activity if you don't have enough merit for your rank. You could be a decent member of this forum. By deleting your own post means you reduce so many spam from forum by yourself. Those post are really not contribute any knowledge, you should delete as soon as possible.
2. Avoid posting on mega thread:You should avoid posting on mega thread in order to improve you posting behaviour. Even your post quality is good and useful but you made it on mega thread like 20/25 page's, no one will read it especially merit source and well reputed member's. So there is very low chance to earn merit. So avoid mega thread will increase chance to earn merit if you are really a good poster.
3. Improve your posting behaviour:This is the most important in order to earn merit. What you was in before just forget it. Motivate yourself to improve posting behaviour. Don't make post just increase your activity as well I said on above. Share your skill and experience in all over forum. Before posting think about what you are going to post. It's is really high quality ? Or really helpful for forum? Try to improve your English skill as much as possible. At least you should able to exposed what is on your mind. Don't post off topic that's are not appropriate with main thread. Research before answering any question. Don't copy paste others post or from Google. It might be ban your account permanently. Always try to make a decent and unique reply. If you don't like your own reply than how others will like it? So try to change your posting behaviour and improve it. Don't post unnecessary
picture, bold, color and over size front for posting.
4. Post useful & informative articles:Do you think this post is useful for you (newbie) ? I hope it's useful for newbie. Never mind if I not merited on this post, because I earned lot of merit. Do don't post only for earn merit, and don't expect merit all of your post. You should post thread with useful and informative that will help & motivate others. Use search button before posting. Because so many similar post will disqualify you to earn merit. So make sure your information is unique and decent. Stolen others information will ban your account. Everyone have different skill & knowledge, so share your best thought and skill on forum. Just like you can share your knowledge and guidelines about crypro currency if you know it well. Over all you should share useful topic that are not yet post on forum. It will increase your chance to earn merit. Don't make unnecessary post to avoid spam. Except useful or informative topic will consider spam. So there is no chance to earn merit as well. One thing you should care, just make long post it dose'nt mean that is useful or quality post. Try to explain shortly as much possible. Make too long post might discourage people's to read it.
Don't waste your time just claiming to admin. Change yourself first. Admin always encourage merit source and smerit holders to spend their merit on quality post. Blaming to admin will not solve your problem. Your hard work can solve your problem. It's your time to become a assets for forum.
I am wondering to help few newbie as well and I expect more merit source and smerit holders will help too. Don't be hopeless, you will achieve your goals if you are become a good poster.
Personally I don't think it will too difficult to earn 1 merit if you follow above guidelines Note: If you are a good poster and you are worried about limitation of newbie and signature like sending pm and posting with image, there is option for you;
Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a
copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership.
