Where should I start, okay I took notice that everyone has something of a rank with their name in the forum and I think mine is newbie, Goodness it wasnt newbie.
Didn't want to seem lazy or not researching myself so tried the search button but the results were bulky. Cut story short my hands are already hurting. I found a post via Google search which highlighted the various rank, titles and how they were gotten.
Good of you to start by not being lazy, that is the spirit of a serious member. People can only give you directives on what to do but in the end you will have to do a lot of things alone I commend your effort of trying to search for answers without having any idea of the forum.
You have been provided with the link to a post where you will better understand the ranking system and how various ranks can be achieved. To increase a rank the major requirement is Merit and Activity. To activate each rank a certain amount of merit must be achieved and a certain activity must be reached before a new rank can be achieved.
It talked about the advantages of rank in campaign which I later found out is an advertisement where one get paid in Bitcoin. Like someone doing DCA for you for just posting now that's cheap and not subject to psychological battles with demons.
For signature campaigns certain amount is allocated for each rank and for most campaigns the higher the rank the higher the money. As a newbie you are to be focused on learning rather than paid campaigns as learning will benefit you more as you try to increase in rank.
