Good topic but already there are many threads about Merits, Activities, Ranks, Trust and Signature campaigns etc. Creating a duplicate thread will make Newbies to get confused about which one to refer. They can easily see the pinned posts on every board of the forum. The pinned post is more than enough to know the rules of the forum and how it works.
Hi, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with it. You say 'which one to refer' as if I'm trying to make this an authoritative source. I'm not, I just condensed the explanations (some are extremely long, sometimes needlessly so) into one thread of simple explanations of all the key aspects. Newbies don't bother reading all the different relevant threads on every section of the forum.
Part of the purpose of this thread is so I just need to link people who need help to a single thread only. I don't think it can cause any 'confusion' especially as everything in this thread is objectively true.
