Day by day people are getting to know crypto currency, each day good number of interested people join the BitcoinTalk forum. The way the bounty qualifications and rank was in 2012 is not any more. Getting to the next rank is getting more difficult,KYC came in and many other changes, Now don't you think very soon most signature will only be opened to people from Full member and/or very few number will be given the chances of participation in many bounty campaign to have it convenient?
Rank upgrade issues are also a big problem for low-rank accounts like me. I had to struggle to improve my rank but I realized that good posts are sometimes not recognized because moderators also rarely check. so I'm quite disappointed and the Jr. accounts Members and Members will also be removed soon.
moderators are nothing to do with your rankings because it is all depend on Merit senders and thats the biggest problem from the newly created accounts or thos accounts that has been lately become active because the thing here now are just continue being active,learn more and contribute more
yes, bounty campaign need high rank member, and high rank member need merits. not all member in this forum want to send their merits to new comer, newbie, and jr member based that newbie difficult to rank up and join to bounty campaign
so i think bounty campaign not legit yet for member with low rank like newbie and junior member, you can search another source income such trading
