Finally after 4 days of work from home, my company halted operations for 3 days due to recent lock down announcement which means I had 4 additional hours at my disposal today. So I decided to go on expedition and during last 3 hours, I traveled around 150 threads, reading over 1000 posts. The purpose of this expedition was to find quality newbie accounts having zero merits and give them their first merit.
The basic factor for giving merit was that either account has written a good post or has overall adequate quality. During this expedition, I checked more than 80 newbie accounts but most of them were awful, clearly spamming or clear case of account farming. Prior to starting, I had 34 sMerits at my disposal which I thought I would easily send to 34 deserving newbies in less than an hour but to my surprise, forum is seriously lacking new accounts who are genuine posters. So at the end I am hardly able to find 20 accounts after 3 hours and this is where I decided to stop for today.
Other factors considered while giving merits:
- At least 15 posts or 15 days old account (exception if high quality post is made)
- Due diligence is done to determine whether account is alt/farmed or not
- One merit per account is given to cover as much newbie as I can. I will give more merits to certain posts later which I think deserved more than 1 merit.
Here are the newbies benefited from my expedition:
