Any campaign manager could merit 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 people. Do it for a month. Then let them join as heroes getting them higher fees.
What's exactly stopping a manager to pay Sr Member as Hero member (or getting him on a private deal) if he thinks that member is good and will bring him extra visibility? So why going through that hassle of ranking members up in the first place.
Dunno, I think that you guys are just overthinking things.
Nope it lowers the campaign’s integrity.
Pretend I want to pay for a campaign.
I want to trust manager x.
First I can’t see his long term merit history.
So I have no idea if he grooms people by hiking them up long ago .
So if you really want to allow any manager to be a merit source you need to have a list of every merit they ever gave.
If I pay a hero 100 a week and he is a hero due to many merits given by the campaign manager I need to be able to see that pretty much with no effort.
