The merit system is not working, look the merit points of people on the forum, it does not move (even for the more relevant posts), the forum established a system which was suppose to penalize newcomers flooding the forum with useless post, but the forum penalize itself, good luck everybody, If you think people will give you merit points for free you are mistaken.
We need to wait my friend. Merit system are in adjustment mode. There are thousand of users in the forum. Judgement is very hard if only few are entitled doing random check on searching quality post and giving free merits. We can't do nothing about it. Much better lets obey and wait for our turn to shine.
