Well, my strategy is don't worry about merits.

Just a single line yet it already has a big impact and is on point. Ever since the merit system was established, most of the members here are just on the "hunt" to get those merits to rank up. Little do they know is that these merit points shouldn't be given much priority as the reason for this forum is to share opinions and informations and not collect merits. I also think that if you're doing your part as a responsible member of this forum by being constructive and you know that for yourself, then the merit system should not matter. It's just for recognition anyway. My point here is that, the merit system shouldn't be that big of a deal since we are somehow obligated to write constructively in this forum to allow easy understanding and comprehension from one member to another. The merit system is just a bonus, a reminder that you're doing a good job. What should be given more focus on is learning from this forum and enlighting others as well.
