When i first hear about bitcointalk forum i dont know there is some kind of bounty which i can earn some bucks . At first i wasnt familiar with bitcoin so i just join the forum and read the post of senior members to gain more knowledge about bitcoin. After that bounty attracts my mind and i  joined the different bounty camping and didnt post any thing in this forum except my report in bounty camping which is just garbage. So till now  my merit is zero i realize my mistake. After the rules is implement that one merit is necessary to become jr member i demoted to newbie. Then my main focus is to gain merit but right now honestly I am enjoying in this forum by participating in different discussion which for sure invoke my knowledge in the field of Crypto as well as i also share some my experience in the forum. I am not native English speaker my English is not good so far though i am also focusing to improve my English language so i can make quality post.

May be those account created in 2015 also made same mistake i have done so they demoted to newbie.
Thanks . Have a great day
