I really happy to see that newbie is making decent post than higher rank member do. However, I wanna say one thing please ignore making posts in the bitcoin discussion, economics and speculation section. There we see many dumpyard posts only done for the signature payments.
Please do the technical research and do making posts in the mining related section and technical support section. You may able to help the people with your posts and by the way more possible to get the merits from the trusted member.

Sharing merits for the payment or sending merit to cheap posts will not advised at all.

Please refer the theymos post which explained how the merit system works.
