Paano yung mga naghahanap buhay na Jr. Member na ngayon ay Newbie na lang ulet na hindi na makapagpost dahil required na magkaron ng 1 Merit?
Signature Campaign nor different bounty campaigns should not be considered as way in earning to survive for your daily lives.
To answers your question, the only reason why the forum administrators implement the 1 merit for Jr. Members is to stop the bots as well as the spammers to take advantage in joining multiple campaigns, as it leads to so much spamming all the way around the forum. Di naman mahirap makagain ng isang merit, all you just need is a dedication to learn and contribute inside the community.
Tama naman talaga na hindi dapat itrato ang pag signature campaign or bounty as a primary source of income. Maganda kung treat it as secondary so kahit if ever wala, you wouldn't be hurt and hindi ka mag popost ng mga hinanakit.
I agree with @Maus0728 that it is for the betterment of the whole forum, ayaw niyo ba yun? Mahirap kasi makakita parati ng puro spam lang, nag mumukha lang din na kalokohan yung forum. Anyways, I think this would serve as an opportunity, especially the newcomers, to have the participation between other forum members and possibily creating more interesting topics for the members to discuss about. Kahit hindi naman about Bitcoin (except here in our local), pwede naman eh. Kaya may other Boards for that.
