19th Spetember 2018 - one of my worst days on this forum. That day Ive realized that @Theymos introduced Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements and I was automatically downgraded from Jr. Member to Newbie Angry

Before that day I always though that without crypto knowledge at the expert level and perfect knowledge of English getting even one merit is impossible. But making me a Newbie again was to much... So Ive decided to fight for my Jr. Member rank honestly my whole plan was: to get one single merit - nothing more... but it was 51 days ago and today Ive got my 100th merit and become self made Full Member.

So, with this short post Id only like to thank some of you guys for showing me that this whole merit system really works and if anyone put some effort, time (honestly quite a lot of time) and willingness its really possible get higher rank. And what is also funny it turned out that this whole merit thing is also very addictive and challenging...

Firstly I have to thank @Theymos - although he did not help me directly, his decision to introduce new rules was the catalyst that mobilized me to work.

Secondly but much more I want to thank all of you who have read, criticized, discussed, sometimes even quoted but in particular rewarded my posts with merits.

Sepecial thanks to:
DarkStar_ for giving me my first merit ever and also the hope that Im able to get any
TMAN for giving me as many as 12 merit for single post
DdmrDdmr for Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard , Piggy for Tool to run online SQL queries over Full Merit Data and Vod for Announcing BPIP - The Bitcointalk Public Information Project! - all of them have created great tools for merit and user analysis which helped me a lot to get many of my merits
wwzsocki for his efforts to improve the level of discussion on the Polish local board
and
BitCryptex, bones261, DdmrDdmr, Don Pedro Dinero, DooMAD, Farul, Flangler, Foxpup, guybrushthreepwood, hilariousandco, JayJuanGee, Jet Cash, krogothmanhattan, loughlin, LoyceV, LTU_btc, malevolent, marlboroza, nid125, poptok1, Sheme, stingers, STT, suchmoon, taikuri13, Tytanowy Janusz, vlad230, Welsh, wgd, wwzsocki, for rewarding my posts with merits.

Congrats cryptovigi, hope people take you as an example to understand how to grow their accounts. No one says it would be easy but is possible for the ones who try it and work hard for it.

The goal about the merit system was to bring quality to the forum, that's all we want, more quality and less spam, for those ones who make it well then there is a prize, but those ones who keep spamming doesn't have future anymore.
