Getting merit can be extremely difficult here in this forum. I am a legendary member here, and have more than 10,000 posts. But I have just 10 merits to my name. That is one merit point for every 1,000 posts. But the good thing is that you can participate in bounties even if your merit score is zero.
What's interesting to me is you joined this forum exactly 2 days before I did, yet when they issued merits they only gave you 10? Are you sure about that, guy? You were supposed to get 100, unless you became Legendary after the system went into effect, in which case you would only get 50, I think.
I am not talking about the "default" merit points. I have about 1,000 default merit points, which they give to all the legendary members. I am talking about the "earned" merit points. I have only 10 earned merit points, despite making so many posts here regularly.
You obviously posted the majority of your posts before the merit system was put in place. So I don't know why you would use that as a metric for your merits beyond 1000. You should have been given 100 sMerits, that's Sendable Merits. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think for every 2 merits you receive you are also awarded 1 new sMerit. It's a very "survival of the fittest" system, and as I have only 7 more than you, its not really my place to talk about the quality of your posts.
And again, sheesh, its not about
quantity. Its about
quality. Why does nobody seem to understand that? The vast majority of this posts in this thread are shitposts written by hopeless noobs hoping to draw merits or up their Activity. Then you have a portion of posts from users who genuinely sympathize with the OP. Then there's me, and then you. Most of the people posting here aren't actually saying a damn thing.
