Having no merit earned doesn't mean you post low quality.
Not an absolute measure perhaps but it does to a high degree, particularly as a ratio of merit-to-post count.
And your claim that the privilege needs to be earned is total nonsense.
But since you are such a good DT member who wouldn't make up lies maybe you can point me to the rules where it says that the privilege to participate in signature campaigns need to be earned and that this claim is not made up by a small group of idiots
Waiting for your response where I doubt you will link to that rule which you claim exist.
You need to earn a certain rank to be able to use certain features in you signature, making it suitable for advertising. And forum admins (and global mods nowadays) can take it away in a heartbeat if you break the rules in a particularly egregious way. Sounds very much like a privilege that needs to be earned.
A forum rank has in the majority of accounts nothing to do with earned merit.
Not an absolute measure perhaps but it does to a high degree, particularly as a ratio of merit-to-post count.
You just admitted you accept a high-grade of collateral.
So you basicly give a fuck to the other high amount of forum members who gets unfairly treaten by that campaign rule.
