I never wanted to run behind merits because for me its like I am changing my attitude and posting behaviour to get something in return.Just be yourself and learn more about cryptos,why we wanted it and of course how to make money using cryptos.Help fellow forum members in the way you can,if you got recognized then merits will follow you up.
You nailed it dude! However, the sad reality weighs greater. Instead of treating this forum as a source of knowledge, they shifted and turn it into source of money thus merits for them are so important. That's why you may notice that, oh that's very obvious actually, some of members here get banned due to spamming, burstposting and sh*tposting and the main root of these are signature campaigns. They get blinded by the rewards which tend them to push their limits even if it's all wrong.
The greed lies within yourself not from the temptations outside. I am a cryptotalk participant and yet I'm not getting banned unlike most of the participants. Why? Simply because I have self discipline enough to follow the do's and don'ts at all times.
