Here is how you can get merits:

1) Stop making these posts about merit system and start contributing quality posts here. Initially, you might not get any merits but merit sources will spot you soon.

2) Go to merit stats page and see all posts getting good number of merits. Try to make posts like those to increase your chances.

Finally, do not beg for merit. I think everyone is capable of earning merits here, just be patient and be ready to improve. Best of luck.
