Re: Campaign to improve posting quality for local boards
⭐ Merited by mikeywith (2)
Maybe I can start to set up an attempt to bring this topic to more local boards or as we have discussed recently, where I was planning to launch a topic, where people could link their recent posts and good ones would receive an additional chunk of Merit if the requirements are met. At least, Merit is meant that way: to reward quality posts.
Then perhaps this also the right moment to remind to all users of this topic that they can show their involvement too by translating and adapting this topic in their local boards:
Translations to local boards
Since our campaign is dedicated to local boards, I would be happy if you can bring our campaign to your local board and add your own points, relevant for your local board.
Important:
Part of the task is to review our German and Romanian topics and create your own topic dedicated to your local board, not a translation of the Meta announcement.
As a reference, your topic should be unique and customized for your local board. [...]

The highlighted part is crucial, as in this case it is not needed a literal translation of this topic, but one adapted to the customs and idiom of each language. I will also make this suggestion to AOBT group and maybe we'll get some support from there as well.
For those interested to see how such adapted topic looks like they can take a look at the existing translations:
And, speaking of that, I was wondering if 1miau could add these translations to the OP?
Nowadays, many people only spend Merit for their fellow sigspammer friends, no matter if the post is really worth it. It's like "am I getting my fair share of Merit to join the next signature campaign?". People don't care about their posting quality, but still want enough Merit to be accepted in a campaign.
This occured in our German local board, which is really a shame.

I am very sorry to hear how things are working inside German board. For sure, the situation does not look good. The mod from that section should act with a strong hand against spam -- or, in case the workload is too much for him, perhaps he can ask for some help...?
