Nice to see you active in this thread.

What do you think about the "Congratulations in advance" gang?  Undecided

*SNIP.......

Obvious spamming and pushing the number of posts for the weekly quota.

Haha 😂, to honest, as far as we allow some form of discussion on this thread, there is no way some users aren't going to include such lines as "congratulations in advance" in their texts, atleast, we all know it's another form of saying "good luck 🤞 in your journey to your next rank".
But yeah, it definitely is a spam when it becomes something a user posts as a reply to every or most count down applications here, and I wouldn't want to stop users who genuinely want to chip in one or two advice to another user here, or point out an error to a user who makes a mistake and so on.
So, on that note,  I believe the users that were mentioned will definitely come here to read this, so I will advice them to refrain from posting such, or if they must, atleast, let them do it in a more matured form, a way it won't be seen as spam by their campaign managers, or any other user coming around this thread.

The new rule for members with negative feedback is fine, but perhaps the conditions for the application should be "tightened" a bit. So for example, the rule with 25 missing merit for the next rank is ok for Hero, Legendary or even Sr. rank. The 25 missing are between 2.5% and 10%, so it can be said that they have already collected a respectable number of merits and deserve attention to push themselves.
Beggars are asking for 7 merits for Member rank (where 10 is required). So they collected only 30% of the required amount, but they are eligible to beg here because their requirement is below 25.
Needless say that this is a very good Idea, and I never really thought of this, I will take my time and break this down and include it in the rule, this should completely put an end to low rank users who will refuse to work hard, but depend on threads like this to farm merit.
Thank you very much for the idea.
