I know that bitcointalk is trying to remove spammers and so on, but I am finding difficult to get the needed Merit to get back to Jr. Member. I am an active member, do a lot of bounties, translations and so on, and suddently I am a newbie again. How do you guy's got your Merit ? Asking ?
If you are a good translator, I think it is not difficult to get a merits. I have seen many good translations that have been confirmed by the Bounty Manager, and the high-ranking Bounty Manager will also send merit to a good translator.
And I suggest you not to participate in too many social media bounty campaigns, which will make your posting history look very bad. Usually, many high ranked members are less willing to send meirt to members who are full of links in the history of those posts.
