Reading up on changes to position and gaining rank. Although this affects me negatively l see the merit it what is being introduced and hope spam issues are dealt with. In saying that does seem that with so many altcoin threads, obtaining merit can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Will work on quality and see what happens.
In your total forum history, you have a lot of one liner posts in seeming bounty hunting threads, so it would be difficult to characterize your posts contributions as quality or attempting to help other members in various ways. You can browse through the posts histories of some members who earn merit and see what they are doing to earn merit - which likely just involves engaging in various threads that are of interest to them (not just bounty hunting)..
