Call me old-fashioned, but I'd like to judge people by their actual posts, instead of only Merit earned.
I know managers will use it is their filter tool after that they will look at latest posts to assess post quality. My post is not clear about it but I have a same old-fashioned as you about post quality and post quality checking.
It is to see your post quality is maintaining at high quality or drop last for months. Deleting your old posts can not help you to pass through the manager checking.
If I'd manage a campaign, I'd only use the Merit count to quickly get rid of the obvious cases. So no Merit means no entry, but some Merit still means manual scrutiny.
I agree. Have high recent received merit does not equal to post quality is good recently. Post quality must be checked manually and can not check quickly with merit number.
