From the posts I could view, they all seem like generic sentiments that everyone writes in the spam mega threads that no one ever reads. Even if someone read something you wrote, there's not much that's interesting in it and your grammar is sub-par.

I have relatively high standards for giving out merits, and people who can't write properly don't usually get any from me, unless they've posted an important scam busting or something like that. So that's why you haven't earned any merit. None of your posts stand out from the rest of the generic garbage written here thousands of times daily.

And did you really have to throw in this:

I believe that you should only invest what you can afford to lose

...which is one of the most overused phrases on bitcointalk? It's not appropriate for this discussion, even if it's valid advice. My point is that everyone writes crap like this. sMerits are scarce, and you really have to stand out from the pack if you expect to earn any.

Besides that, I feel that merit should be given freely to whoever people wants to give them for whatever it maybe.

What does this even mean??? Here's a great example of something I would skip right over without spending more mental energy than I need to. Most of the stuff that gets written here on bitcointalk is just fluff, and if it's hard to understand then you're going to get put on people's ignore lists.

Okay, point taken and I appreciate your honest opinion and finding time to quick view my profile and previous post. I will try then to be more direct to the point and avoid cliche advise.
