There is nothing as good as been rewarded for active participation and meaning contribution to the forum. However, newbie who may not be considered a newbie after ranking up tends to go astray.
After ranking up to member rank, the desire to engage in signature begin to grow after discovering or having known how signature works. Hey this is not to scare you away from signature but I do really think, the quest to meet up with numbers of post tends to lead many to low quality posting
Don't assume to have known much just because you have rank up, but exercise patience to learn well and be more useful to the forum, this will also help you have more quality post than chasing cloud.
This is not a rule but a timely advice to newbie who wants to keep their posting reputation in good standard.
One meaningful post is better than 15 to 20 post that are low in quality just to fulfill signature requirements.
Rank up your account is not just a small thing in the forum, no matter how smart you are you can't rank up your account in the forum without making a quality post, it may have before but not now because the current forum that we are now is not a forum that you can earn merit easily, you have to show your skills and quality, make a good post that attract people attention when they read it and you will be reward with merit, many newbies find it difficult to grow up because they don't find it easy to move their account to another level.
And about getting a signature campaign, you can't get a signature campaign when you don't know how to post, many people got removed by the manager because the Manager didn't like his performance in the campaign, but I'm still wondering how some people will struggle to move their account the level of Participating in the campaign and at the end, they won't perform well, what are those things that cause it? Because from my point of view, laziness is the cause of it.
