You came to this forum to earn
This is another phrase that is used against newcomers. Did anyone join this forum to recreate the forum? You will see someone wearing high paying signature and yet will frustrate a newcomer trying to rank up because they perceived the newcomer came for money. Maybe theymos will have to deactivate signature campaign let's see how many people will remain active here genuinely.

OP, just know you're on a forum that has users with different attitude so expect to see some users that uses the harsh approach to correct newbies and those that do it with love. The reason why people don't like those that only joined the forum because of the monetary benefits is because they become a problem to the forum. They aren't contributing anything to the growth of the forum and all they do is to look for activities and participate in giveaways to get merit to rank up then they start spamming to meet weekly quota for their signature campaign. If we allow everybody to do as they like we mightn't have a forum again. The more the spam on the forum increase the more the forum becomes unattractive to engage in discussion going on because you'll be reading generic replies and not any adding sense to the discussion.

Merit fishing
You will see someone with thousands of merits accusing another person with 5 merits of merit fishing. I mean there is a merit system, it should not be a crime if anyone makes posts to earn merits in order to rank up, whether they fish for it, hunt it or the merits locate them (which is very rare.)

They didn't get that amount of merit by merit fishing or spamming the forum with unnecessary threads that are just copies of things on the Internet that everybody can get their hands on. They got the merit by replying constructively to discussion going on, on the forum. A newbie that's using the forum rightly won't get attack instead he'll be encouraged constantly. Most newbies don't understand what quality means and all they do just annoying the order members because it's a continuous practice that we have seen before and the only way to correct those guilty of this is by telling them the truth. When they create thsie generic posts they're expecting them to be merited and when they're not, you start seeing them complaining of their quality post not been merited but what's actually happening is that, they're delivering low quality posts.
