I didn't know about that rule. Getting at least one merit shouldn't be difficult even for decent posters, let alone the best ones but I still don't like it. Regardless of what anyone says, getting merits is also a popularity contest and it greatly depends on where the person posts the most.
I also only found out about the rules made by yahoo after looking through the old campaign.
But in the new campaign, the rule is no longer written.
Yes, but it's a rule that can be changed at any time because he is the manager.
Those posts could be merit-worthy, but because they are in subs where there aren't any merit sources or the person isn't very likable by the community for whatever reason, they might not even get that one merit a week. That doesn't necessarily mean there posts weren't good enough. Besides, the campaign got the promotion they wanted and so they should pay for it in full, not half.
This is what I often feel, when I'm in the wrong circle no matter how good the quality is it won't mean anything.
But when I find a good circle that accepts me, it's even easier to get.
And yes, the home that I still love is in my Local Board.
The first person that comes to mind is franky1. I don't even think he can get into a good campaign because of his many negative tags, and there are many people on the forum that he irritates, and they don't like him. No idea how many merits the dude gets per week, but I don't think it's many because he gets on everyone's nerves all the time. Whatever he receives, he would earn many more if he wasn't like that. Still, he isn't an unknowledgeable shit poster that shouldn't get paid because he lacks the needed popularity.
In regards to @franky1, he's a pretty cool member, active, and always full of controversy.
A few days ago had a debate in my thread about Lightning Network with senior members.
He doesn't seem to like Lightning Network very much and keeps attacking it.
Although full of controversy and some negative assumptions, he is a genius member and often gets on everyone's nerves.
And he's a poster who doesn't support any projects.
