So in order for me to get my merit up I have to wait until others give the smerit to me or at least hope that other memeber want to share some merit??? I'm lost.
That's basically the gist of it. See the OP if you want to really know more. Reading the last few pages will leave you confused. The purpose was to make sure people were posting quality posts and those that weren't posting quality posts were unable to rank up.
However, it has just begun and will take a while before everybody is aware of such a system. Activity requirements are still present in that you can only add 14 every 2 weeks. The idea is that you will naturally progress the more quality information that you post.
