... he blatantly refused the request.
I feel so sad about it and have refused talking to him now, but on a second thought I decided to seek the opinion of the high rank member.
Please can you deny your wife just 1 merit to rank up to Jr member?...
I would sit down with my wife, give her tips and advise on how to improve her forum experience. I will work with her very closely and will help her to make good posts. If she is curious and teachable then she will learn. She will make good posts then I will not have any issue to award her merit. In-fact, she won't need to depend on me, she will start getting merits from the forum members.
LOL Yeah ok. No one believes that bullshit. The shit some of the higher ranks say to stimulate quality posts is so blatantly outrageous I think it hurts the stop the spam movement.
