I think it's time for a change! [...]
I don't know if it's time for a change, but you have a campaign running. The members of your running campaign must be good fighters to run the campaign because the rules you have given are important. If you want to follow those rules, a member must recharge the maximum amount and earn merit by improving the quality of the posts. All those who are running are performing well. I was there, too, and tried to do my best.
Although I'm currently in another campaign, I still follow your rules because by following your rules, I have learned a lot, know, and prepare myself for a good position. Those in your campaign are performing very well and moving forward very nicely. If the rules you have shared here or what you want to do are implemented, quality members will be found.
I realized this a long time ago, and instead of talking, I just do it for several years now (although I must admit I found it funny that you mentioned how someone allegedly initiated it first). I track how active a user is in a discussion thread, the total number of posts, the number of positive feedback received, the preferred sections of the publication, how many merits a user receives in the context of 1 week, and I also know how many merits a week on average are received in each of the campaigns that I manage, and much more (thanks to Loyce, who has repeatedly changed the parameters of his software to suit my needs). I even mentioned some points so that those who submit applications have an understanding of what is expected of them.
What you mentioned or tried to explain is certainly important but my question here is, can managers who have many projects running signature campaigns follow all the activities of so many campaigns well? Am a little skeptical about this because those who have a lot of projects running may not be able to pay attention well. Although I don't know about this issue, that is why I asked.
