Im just a newbie with less experience and knowledge bout this. I've read that merits is what makes your rank up. Is that correct or did I just misread it? 😂
Thank you

The older system of the forum ranks was based on activity and posts. Now the merit system is added to it. To reach a certain rank the member must reach that much activity and that much stipulated merit if not more. If you dont reach both (or gain in that sense) then forget about ranking up and be happy with your current rank.
@everyone else who is reading this - The OP's post is the reason why I proposed this suggestion - which did not gain much attention.
Lets Make a new board/section for "Merit Discussion"It is getting worse everyday with a flood of ico users asking why they cannot get the next rank. So they didn't give a shit about anything new add to their profile, under their names, no shitty shit curiosity about what the hell is the new thing?? All they care about is to earn from ico and how they get more money by ranking up in the forums. Then, worst, they came to meta, don't waste a shitty minute to take a look on it, create a new shitty repetitive topic and ask a stupid question answered million times... Nuke them all. No sorry.
For your solution, if the nuke button is not working ofc, then just create the new "Activity and rank" sub under "other/meta/Activity and rank" and nuke everyone posting in meta about it (move the sticky there, can keep a copy also in meta but lock it).
