I have barely been on here the last few months as i have had so much on in real life that i literally haven't had a lot of time to be on here.

I completely missed the 'Newbie/Junior member/1 merit' implementation, but i must say that in the past few days i have browsed i can see its definitely paid dividends with a much improved and organic posting behaviour on here as opposed to a few months back when the quality was pretty drastic to be honest.

Its not easy trying to keep everyone happy, but bravo to the decision makers for making a good call. This is definitely a step in the right direction in the War on Spamerism
