I have observed that some members on the platform have up to 3,000+ Merits and some have just none. Meanwhile some are in a particular rank for a long time. Mine is over a year and I am still a Newbie.
The question is,
Does getting to a new membership Rank dependent on Merits, or they are just two independent awards?
In Bounty you may not easily get caught in plagiarism but Trust me here you can get caught.
So be careful of your posting, getting merit is not a child play at all. So you gat work your ass to get the quality post for that merit.
