It always was for Newbies!! As far as I know, newbies were never allowed to participate in main airdrops ever here.  Newbies could though earn Onions from bounties or contests or just doing VIP tasks if chosen VIP.

Actually, I thought the same back in November. But you know tomorrow will always be more expensive than today.

Everyone now in the forum specially low ranked users has only one target : how can I get free merit points , I have the solution for you :
1- improve your writing style
2- try to read posts before relying so you don't repeat something already said
3- improve your English or just stay in your local board
4- try to avoid participating in signature campaigns because this is the big issue in this forum and the reason of the low quality posts nowadays
If you're here to make money then there is millions of opportunities and ideas in this forum that should help you , not only signature campaigns .
Anyway I advice you to forget about getting something free here , every thing has a price , even this post has a price , his price is my time .

Link your bitcointalk account to F0ME forum / F0ME address in this thread https://f0me.com/bitcointalk-registration/link-your-bitcointalk-account/.
