I think since round 11 there has been a rule that is a win-win solution for all participants and for the contests held on this forum. For forum members, the requirement is to have a minimum rank of MEMBER RANK where you need 60 activities and 10 merits obtained to fulfill the requirements. And participants with Junior Member or Newbie rank can participate provided they have a wager 1k dollars in their JacksClub account.

Are you saying some participants are bots? I think it is not easy to fulfill the MEMBER RANK requirements because you have to get a minimum of 10 merits here. This means that you have to contribute to the forum in order to get merit and be able to participate here without betting wager 1k .
