This new rule is certainly good for the forum to prevent garbage- posting but those who are source need to be very much helpful to us. We have become really frustrated by being demoted to newbie. We should try more constructive post If we do, we will certainly get merit and get our jr member rank back.
Although I was demoted from jr member to newbie, but now I understand why these new restrictions and requirements are important. Because when I was brand new, my first target was at least jr member. That is why I would post such a post in the thread to increase the activity. "Great project" "Nice project" "Happy to join this project" etc. But now i realize that there is no value of this post. So if there is only need of "activity" for rank upgrade, then such post will not stop. So I think this new Rules must be required The meaning of a merit is not just a merit but it will represent the quality of one post, its thinking consciousness and its value at the bitcoin forum. So I think we should be more careful, delicate and constructive.
