It has been really interesting to read the complete thread. In conclusion, there are two different types of person in here: - Forever Juniors, or Forever members: people who actually just post in their bounties, trying to digging the forum and receive some bucks. I guess most of them actually dreams with ranking-up do they can earn more money. - Seniors and people seeking knowledge. Yep, there are some newbies earning merits in here, too. But, usually, they are not asking for them, but trying to create some good posts, to help others, and so. Even if you are wearing a signature, the compromise with the forum must exist. There is not just a place to earn some bucks in the shape of a crypto, to copy paste everything you feel that is going to give you some underserved merits or to complain about the system. Yeah, you can find a "job" in here, maybe, but this is not excluding at all that you need to use the brain in each post you write.
The "meritocracy" Jet Cash was mentioning is the best way to describe the forum. Notice there are millions (!!!!) of users in here (maybe much less are actives, but, still, that's is a lot!). This is a very competitive place, and merits are made to make a difference between those who actually "shine" and the rest. Notice there are many users, even some that registered their accounts after the OP did, who have earned tons of merits. Why? Simple. They didn't come in here, joined a bounty and began to spam the forum with their reports and their "Good, thanks, sir". They just came in here and made the difference, by tons of effort, by teaching us, the seniors good and new stuff, by refreshing the site with their mere presence. So the merit system is just showing up those users willing to make a difference through their hard work. The rest, well, if you are not willing to make a difference, to learn, to read, to create something new, to tell us just something we can think about, to improve your attitude, you will become a "Forever Junior" or a "Forever member", if you are lucky enough and opened your account about a month before the merits system was implemented.
There is not "an easy way" (as the one you suggested) and this is not our duty to ease anybody's way. Besides, it will be truly unfair to ease the way now that many good users have spent time and dedication to rank-up and succeeded. You have to choose: you can change your mindset about the forum, begin to learn, read, and try to write properly, try to, at least, say something that makes the people think, or, on the contrary, you can just still doing the way you are, with all those bounty reports and similar staff. If you choose the first, then you probably will rank-up because of your own effort; if you choose the second, you will remain as a "Forever Junior".
Think about the system. Is not far fairer this way? You can participate in here, you can also earn in here, as you are doing, with no effort, with no reflect, without contributing to the forum. You can, and you are doing this. And also, you can make contributions, if you will, you can write your thoughts, your relflections, enrolled into a gread debate, learn a lot, and, step by step, gain some merit as well as recognition from other users. Also, I strongly believe that now is far more easy to win some merits, for instance, now I merit newbies if I consider they have quite a good posting history and some effort in the merited thread. Before, I used to look for a great post, now I merit just good posts, for they are more rare and rare to say every day.
It is just your choice, mate. Just that.
