Same is happening with me. I didn't really got the point yet that how or on which algorithm the merit system is working. It seems static for me since it is applied by btc forum team. Really irritated myself.
Well if you take a look at your last 6 post, they not the posts to receive merit for. I don't consider myself of a excellent turbo good quality poster, but i do believe that you can compare your posts with some higher rank member and see what I'm talking about. Tho I like your sentence "It's risky to invest in ICO because it's too risky."
