So many post has been made and is still been made about the precious merit. Well I don't think getting merit should be the primary aim. Let's be honest most people did not care about attain any merit because there where free to partake in bounty hunting not ontill the new rule came in play and turned on the search of the precious merit.
Well for bounty hunters who are so interested in earning rather than learning or making productive post. Rather than pilling up the forum with shut post you can just engage in other campaign other than signature. You can engage in social media campaign that requires you to share, like and retweet and so on well this is an easier way for the lazy ones. And it WI help you earn and help us here in the forum to learn
I could not put it myself better

If i give you that 1 merit will you just leave?
My core reason of joining this great forum is to increase my general knowledge of cryptocurrency and if my post are of interest it fair I get merited. And all my post here WI be productive trust me on this
