I am not against this, and i do not think you understood my post. My idea is that the sole aim should not be about merits and signature campaign, at least at the beginning of a user's journey in Bitcointalk, the thing is this, if a user concentrates on merits, they might get too desperate/frustrated if it doesn't come as quickly as they have envisaged, and this could cause them to make some mistakes like plagiarism that might get them banned. But if a user genuinely enjoys posting in Bitcointalk and discussing Bitcoin and other whatnots/issues, they will easily garner knowledge, earn merits, eventually rank up and join a signature campaign in the end, and when on the signature campaign, they will not struggle to make as many constructive posts as the campaign (and its manager) requires.
