I will reiterate my point that you've been a member since August 2017 and have made only 631 posts. What are you expecting? It isn't supposed to be easy to earn merits; that's the whole point of the merit system, to suppress shitposters and reward members who put in a decent amount of thought and effort into what they're writing. I'd say you have a pretty good merit/post ratio. I've certainly seen members with ones that are a lot less.
I take breaks. Like sometimes I havent posted for months. Why should only people be rewarded who post here only or mainly for merit and forum? I imagine there is whole bot networks just to make money here from sig campaigns.
My arguments were completely ignored. I get it you (you as in everyone with a sig) want to protect the system you are benefitting from. But why would someone with a lot of Merit and in Sig Campaigns ever give out Merit? All he would be doing is cause more people to get to high forum ranks and steal slots in the best Sig campaigns from him. You may be an exception but most humans would say what you say then act completely different. Just like for example with cheap meat from insanely large, cruel animal farms. Nobody admits they are buying it yet almost everyone (90%) does it.
The reasoning I gave was mostly ignored. The merit system helps fry everyones brain and go for cheap & quick rewards in life only. But its just like with the meat, nobody ever will admit it to themselves.
