Just recently I wrote a post complaining about how hard it is to earn merits on BitcoinTalk.org.
Well that complaining garnered me 2 merit points!
So my suggestion to you is complain about what you don't like about BitcoinTalk.org and see how many merit points you can earn just by complaining.
So my complaint is that there are too many user on here with a crap load of merit points but with little insight and not much to offer as far as content!
Okay now give me my merit points, merit points, merit points please!!!!
Oh Yea, what's your complaint about BitcoinTalk.org?
Your complaining activity wont get you so much merits comparing to contributing activity (which you cant). Because the one who gives you merit by complaining most likely the one who feels just like you and they are most likely not the higher rank people or merit sources who have a lot of merit. Once their merit is out, guess what? you wont get any merit.
And to persuade people to complain? this is a whole new level thing. Maybe the next thing you want to persuade is for people to engage in merit farming/abusing?
