- Maybe I am unsuccessful in acquiring a merit or two in the "normal way" while posting with the alt account to get the needed activity points for Jr. Member.
This seems a bit like an admission that you think merits are hard to earn for newbies? And if not, then you should be able to earn them within a few weeks.
I think Theymos might remove the pm restrictions on your newbie account if you sent him a message and asked too...
