There's a lot of postings about merits that I've been reading about but I think this is one of the better ones that's worth your reading time if you really really want to earn merits. I think it's a cool system, and it looks like its here to stay. Even Reddit has its own version of merit which is called karma. Merit is still new, in its infancy, and I would say that we should give it a fair chance to manifest itself into this forum. Instead of whining, we newbies (including me) should figure out what it takes to earn the merits rather than complaining or debating whether its fair or not.

Case in point, I am a newbie, barely a day old, one of my posts was awarded a merit even though I didn't expect it, or with intention to earn it. I only wrote what came out of my mind and from my heart.

We humans tend not to embrace something that's new because we're comfortable with the old. Embrace the change I would say, for in life, the only thing that is certain and inevitable is "change".

I can't express how glad I'm feeling when I saw this comment of yours!

@Everyone,
That's what I have been trying to explain each and every member of the forum that - ACCEPTANCE is the only thing that can make you or break you.
Either ACCEPT THE CHANGE and move on with it, try to learn and contribute with your efforts (and once they are observed, why wouldn't you be rewarded by us?) We are not going to keep it to ourselves as it will be decayed (and so, it'll become worthless for us) OR keep whining and spreading negativity in the community about what you don't like and keep getting disliked for whatever you say being a naysayer. Come on, grow up, learn and understand that this is for the better of the community only.
We need you to dedicate yourself to the power of your words and show it to the world that YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DESERVES IT.
CHANGE IS NEEDED, YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR THINKING TO LIVE IN A NEW & BETTER WORLD!
