I was suprice when my rank bacame newbie again. I spend 1month to become a jr. Member. Then I figured out than my rank decreases and need merit to increase again.
because you don't have any merit so you decrease rank from jr member to newbie,now you have to 1 merit to become jr member,this change is very intersting,they can't do multip acc jr member to get bounty,it retris spam potst from hunter bounty and newbie want do bounty,they have to try and try to improve article quality,they weill get merit and they can do bounty,if you try harder you will get merit from someone,never give up
