Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.
It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.
My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.
Why did you say that's it is unfair? We're so lucky to merits because the system makes us to be a good quality poster not spammy or just shit post. Don't talk for merit, talk for a good and constructive post and let your post speaks for merit. Merit is fairly used to every bitcointalk users. In someway there merit sources and just comply what they asked and they will send merit.
