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.

Yes, you would have to attain 250 sMerits from other users for you to progress to hero member rank, users are most likely to give merit to the posts which are more constructive, useful and helpful to the community, maybe you can start working towards that direction.

Merits was deserves to the users who give knowledgeable information, but it not means that all people who gives suggestion or opinion are deserves to earned merit. Because sometimes their opinion is so shitty and not realistic. They were trying to makes false information to have a topic. I truly appreciate the merits system because now all users are equally. Because on the previous even users who have lack in quality they were reach the higher ranked even their post is nonsense and totally not helpful to others.

Yes I agree with that, but if you see the link below you can see that there's a lot of people are exchanging of merit to easily increase it up. Moreover they want to ranked up so easy that's why they do this.

Your right, but cheating to get some or a lot of merits was not allowed. Other than that this is so prohibited, I know one of this day those people who exchange merits for the sake of their ranking up will be punished by the moderator of this project.
