Quick question OP are you still doing your translation business (believing) it will pay more now as a full member
Honestly since I started this topic i focused much more on forum itself than bounty business (i had to decide what is more important to spend my time on) so I did few translations but not to many. Unfortunately the rank doesn't affect the stakes for translations at all ;-( As I wrote in my first post in this translations business most important was the possibility to place images in post and Jr. Member (or Copper) rank is enough for this.
It's actually really hard to get a merit per post, be a use of not so much users are ready to spend their time for reading at least one page of comments and to merit an interesting comment. Te biggest bercent of merits are going to topics creators by the same reason.
Theoretically you've right but practically not always... You have to remember that content always remains most important factor - Of course if you prepare decent content and create new thread you probably get some merits but there are also dozens of threads where first post isn't rewarded with any merits and second, third or twenty fifth post got 10 merits. I got some merits both for starting posts as well as posts in others threads on third page or even on 270th page. So order is important but not the most...
