That's not true, though.
1 - Anyone can put a bit of effort in to researching and constructing a good reply. Having less knowledge is easily remedied by a little bit of effort.
2 - It is a minority of high ranking members that manage campaigns or bounties, and of those that do, the minority of their merits come from campaigns.
3 - You don't need to be a high ranking member to know the rules. You can read the forum rules in 10 minutes. And having a post deleted because it broke the rules doesn't mean anything, you can just continue posting.
Yes it's a reality that only high rank members get a lot of merits and us newbies or low ranks gets nothing because of these reasons:
The reason you get nothing, as has been pointed out, is because your entire post history is just spam bounty pyramid quotes.
