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 ?
Honestly speaking, it is just too hard to get merit if our mindset is only joining bounties. We even be tempted to buy merits on the black market but don't ever do that as it will cause you more harm than good.
