If you have money, you may buy merits from buddies. But I think, what it would do? Rather you may try starting good discussions, commenting relevant and quality comments and try to solve the problems people faces in here. That may make you earn merit in a legitimate way.
You noobies need to get of from jerking off to such threads. Seriously you have disembark on a shitposting spree even on a legitimate thread on meta? I am sure this has been said a hundred times before and you all are here just to get noticed by a merit source to grant you some. Why not make you own threads for you rant or do something good for the forum and get awarded for your contribution?
i agree with you brother. I feel frustrated when i continuously post quality post but still not get any kind of merit. sometimes i am against with that merit system. But someone told me take patience and try to post more and more quality post. In lower rank position it is difficult to get merit.
You will never get merits if you keep posting in spam mega threads and revomit the same words over and over again. Learn to be a bit creative and study how other people are getting merits.
