I'm afraid the new-newbies will dominate this forum to get one merit, back to their old rank Jr. Member and continue signature campaign.
Forum will full of new spam-topic, instead spam-post. That's terrible.
If signature campaigns only accept Member or higher, I think we will have a fresh forum.
What's your idea ?
I fully agree with the bitcointalk new rules on merit points, which will contribute to limiting the spread of spam, contributing to the value of bounty projects. Newbies will try to contribute more value to the forum so that they can receive merit points
