Total new accounts dropped deeply, I am not sure about total new posts made.
It's quite obvious that the total new accounts getting created in a month would drop. Before the merit system was launched, users just needed sufficient activity points to rank up which wasn't a big deal.
Just making some posts time to time would rank up any user and hence people used to create multiple accounts for obvious reasons. Merit system has changed everything now.
It's not so easy to earn a merit and hence it has become even more tough for users to rank up and only the users whose posts are constructive and worthy are getting ranked up these days.
People have realized this fact and hence they don't create multiple accounts since getting ranked up on one account itself is such a big deal these days.
I do have a habit on watching every active campaign, if you'll gonna ask me why, I can't answer that for I really don't know why.
And now here is the thing, as we have been seeing it clearly many users are killing their time applying on some campaigns even if its still closed ( I also once one of the scumbags ) Though Managers aren't now looking behind of their announcements (mostly) they're still being disturb and some what irritated by those unnecessary applications just like this 👇
So, I think it's better for the Managers to make their threads
locked if they already get the spots reserved. And will just open it again if there is something to announce or a vacant position has been opened. Self-Moderated, even though some users doesn't like SMTs (Self-Moderated Threads --- To avoid and DELETE unnecessary applications of lazy non-reading thread users )
It may be a hassle thing to do, but I think it is way more effective rather than ignoring the applications or anything else

Thanks Coolcryptovator JUST ADDED SOME MISLEADING LINK FOR YOU TO ENJOY YOUR DAY (WELL, HOPEFULLY)I think as long as the campaign manager is trustworthy, a self moderated thread isn't necessary since people believe in the campaign managers (like Yahoo, Hhampuz etc..)
They have been doing their job pretty decently and I have never seen any user arguing with them for getting selected in the campaign.
