I'm still confused how to get the merits, I've been trying to make a good post, but I also have not get the merits, maybe anyone can explain how easy it is to get the merits?
They're not actually that easy to get. If someone agrees with you they may merit you, but mostly it seems you need to write good quality posts often and if you're lucky someone with merit notices it and merits it.
Maybe this will change with time and more merit sources/distributions, as it is still early days yet.
