The new system changes everything, changing the way we as beginners started out sharing unhelpful posts and more posts from bounty campaigns.
I started when the merit system didn't exist and everything seemed fine to me, because I was used to commenting and creating threads that didn't have apparition.
But when the merit system is implemented, it becomes a system that will discard accounts that are not growing and do not strive to improve their quality.
I just learned about the term "MERITOCRACY" and it is indeed about a system that gives individuals the opportunity to occupy positions or positions based on merit, ability, and talent, not wealth or social class. It works like a natural Selection system which will naturally reduce spam and farming accounts naturally, no achievements hence no rank increase.
With merit system, many things changed, first with rank requirements and your efforts put in for ranking up. After you ranking up and even were approved to join signature campaign, you can not stop there. With competition of other campaign participants and applicants as well as stricter management of campaign managers with time, you always have to keep up your quality posts, and contributions with time. This approach in posting style will help you receive merit even you no longer need to rank up more, or no higher rank for moving up.
If you don't put your efforts in your posts, threads, you will not receive merit and finally you will be kicked out of good campaigns my managers.
