Nowadays newcomers want to get merit very easily. Which is really ridiculous.
You joined the forum on November so it is not long to compare difference in November and nowadays (December). What do you imply?
I don't understand how anyone can get merit by not being active in this forum. They do not want to understand this simple thing.
You can get merit even you are inactive in the forum for a while. The condition is you must be a good asset of the forum and did contributed many good works in the past before the day you became inactive. satoshi left the forum more than a decade but the community members still send lots of merit to his works.
Activity makes sense but only for good members. With shitposters, active or inactive, they are the same and I see them as better version if they are inactive. They contribute less spam on the forum with their inactivity, it's better.
Again there are many just bounty. Bounty may pay them some money but can't give any knowledge about this forum.
It is a fail-fail situation for them. Companies don't care about the forum, don't care about participants and quality. They need exposures as much as possible. Bounty hunters join them as they don't have dedication to contribute.
If you are active in the discussion thread of this forum then you must know better about this forum and get merit. I personally want everyone to know better about this forum. You must be active in the discussion thread if you want to know more about this forum. So stay active in the discussion thread and post acceptable.
Loads of spam, megaspam in discussion threads and your advice can be failed. Many people don't read before they post.
Please try to read through the thread before placing your post
