In order to rank up, one must be able get a certain number of merit. And post/s can be merited if its good, very useful and informative one. With a very huge number of posts on a certain topic, is there someone patiently reading those posts so good posts can be merited? Are those hundrends of posts have an equal chance to be read and earn a merit? What if the good posts are posted on the middle spreadsheet, will someone still care to read it? Im just curious. Thank you!
Probably not, i doubt that merit sources ( or anyone with sMerit) would go through hundreds of pages on for example a coin ICO ANN thread to find specifically find your post ( or any "high" quality posts, as it is generally flooded with spam.).
Best chances of getting merit is probably to give an informative answer on a question someone asks, ( Beginners & Help, Technical Support, etc.) within the first few replies..
