Agree with you I am new here and trying to get at least one merit but didn't understand how will I get the same.
I think we have to activity stronger, better in the forum. The contributions of us will be rewarded by merit .I think so
I think it's supposed to incentive rewarding others with merit and punish those that hoard their sMerit.
The merit system works only if people actively use it, else everyone is stuck at their current rank.
