I don't think you should start such a topic. That kind of question/ topic has published several times in the forum. For example, this one is one of threads discussed about how to make quality and high-quality threads.
Yeah, good. Firstly, you should ask yourself which components can form a high-quality thread. In my opinion, there are several factors:
1) Contents: It is very important. You should compose threads which are original, innovative to catch attention of other users. You should not copy and paste; or more seriously plagiarise because those behaviours violate the forum rules.
Check it there.
2) English grammar and vocabularies: They should be used as correct and appropriate as possible to help readers understand what you write and want to describle through your threads.
3) Contexts: Your threads should answer questions in context. Most of users jump directly to answer the question of topics' OP. They don't care about whether it was answered and solved by other users in previous threads after the OP or not. Posting, answering like this is likely a spamming thread.
4) Formats: Don't overuse bolding, highlighting, etc. because those effects have its own side-effects which makes readers feel uncomfortable, make threads harder to read at some extents.

There are also some threads where some generous members make the effort and review posts (edit: as SFR10 suggested) that you submit and then maybe give you merit if the post deserves it. As Merits are per se a highly subjective matter, don't be disappointed if your post doesn't get in right away. Some factors have to come together in order that you get Merit. The most important being that you create genuine content, that someone who values it - and who has (s)Merit - also reads it.
Here is a list:
Please be reasonable if you submit something, as it really costs a lot of time for those members to do what they are doing
Another helpful tool is the Browser extension "Grammarly" it automatically checks texts you type for grammar and spelling, then it marks possible mistakes and offers solutions.

A post that is easy to read AND has value is more likely to get Merit
Additionally, there are several topics discussed about the issues. I will update the link later when I get home (I guess someone else will update links after my thread because the forum has changed and users now tend to be more constructive, more helpful after the launch of merit system).Here is a list:
