2. You must read forum rules A to Z
I think you should take your own advice and read the rules, specifically the one about double posting.
Why do people with 0 merit have so much advice to give about earning merits?
Because they now desperately need that one merit and hope they get it from giving such advice.
This is clearly an attempt to gain merit yourself, which I hope other users see through before awarding you merit.
Yes Agree with your comment.But I think this is what theymos want to do, new members need to post high quality post to earn their 1 st merit. Not just posting or replying just for bounty campaign.I think new system shows it's importance by this post, actually this is clearly an attempt to get merit himself but he understood he want to create(quality) post. and past I saw many merit rewarded posts like this post. so I don't think he is a dabbler, just let him to grow with new system.
I don't think he wants people to go out of their way to just try get merit, but he wants the quality of content to improve. There's still a long way to go and I still think it's going to take more than just one merit to achieve that.
