i have noticed that our forum is flooded with threads that are created by newbies that post recycled topics, meaning, the topics are already posted and this clearly shows that newbies are not reading, my advise to all newbies, you must read first, learn to back read and study the threads here, do not just post. in doing so, this will prevent you from being locked out, posting a new topic doesn't make you merit-worth or rank up.
to some ranked members, we can help newbies by giving them advise to post quality topics worth of time and informative as possible, we should only reply on topics that has not yet been discussed so we can discourage flooding of nonsense threads.
if you can post some tips here for the newbies who wishes to rank up but deserving to be merited please do so. let us help each other.
some of my advise would be:
1. look for the date of which that topic was created, if it has already hundreds of replies please choose another updated topics to reply at
2. never reply to nonsense inquiry or poll that is illogical
3. learn to write in proper english grammar or at least can be understood by many
4. reply directly to the point, it doesn't matter if it is just a one-liner reply, as long as it is direct to the point, and not full of so many not so important words, a long paragraphed reply is not the basis of having a merit or just to make it look good to your campaign/ bounty managers.
That's true and I really find it annoying already. The thread's quality is low because of non sense recycled threads asking about Bitcoin's stability, how bitcoin affects our lives..the world, cashless world, Bitcoin will be alive for whatever year or in the future, is it worth it to invest or when to invest, etc. etc. Seriously

I cannot reply to those threads anymore I'm out of words to say... Ever since I've joined this forum I see correlated and almost the same threads. Well I guess those Jr. members who goes with the flow of it- do it for campaign which is a real trash. Well as for the newbies, probably they are too lazy to browse Bitcointalk.org that's why they just ask the questions they're thinking of
which is the same with the other newbies at different times/moments. It is actually hard to resolve everytime this happens... the moderators needs to work with 2x effort

Your idea is great, but it won't totally eliminate those recycled threads, and as for (almost all of) us who's doing campaigns... it would just be a waste of time replying to those (direct to the point) since most of the signature campaigns requires certain lines or character count.
