Why on earth i should post here to get merits?

I am not a typical type of person that will likely to jump over this section and will proceed on doing a thread or commenting from any of those shit threads. Just as Warren Buffet says "Don't test the depth of the river with both your feet while taking risk"?
What does the risk I am talking here? The risk of getting hit in the face by the higher ranks, or even the moderators of this forum by their fierce critics on the threads and even in their comments. You will just going to know it when you question them in the things you might wonder that you are correct and righteous but in the end you will end up crying with your shoulders down. I have compile some of these here in this thread and try to see it for yourself before you post another thread raising your issues and concerns.

But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you.

Cuz these people are 'theoretical scientists', Their work is all based around theories, not action Tongue

And if I remember correctly this is the 5th post I have seen on the same topic of 'earning merit'.

I don't think he wants people to go out of their way to just try get merit, but he wants the quality of content to improve. There's still a long way to go and I still think it's going to take more than just one merit to achieve that.

I'm glad that juniors and newbies are getting tired. In fact I'm getting tired of seeing all these threads appearing, and I've cut down the time I spend here for a while. Everybody seems to want to jump on a variety of bandwagons at the moment, and most of the bandwagons are now parked for the winter. Even if you do manage to find an active bandwagon on which you can jump, if you start banging on somebody else's drum, you are probably going to get a drumstick poked in your ear,

Whatever happened to posting about Bitcoin and crypto - do people still discuss those topics here?

Are people so desperate and/or only looking at this merits system?

You learn before you earn. So I advice you use this period to learn, if possible study merited posts, study how they're written (to entertain, educate or inform) and learn to write in those manner. "Stop searching for merit and you will get them i.e stop commenting or posting just to get merits."
see Smerit as liabilities to myself and an asset to others.

Jealousy is an ugly thing, and I'm seeing a lot of it this morning in Meta.

You want merits for garbage shitposts like this? It'll be a sad day when merits are given out for sob stories of poverty--you know exactly what'll happen: every shitposter and their entire extended family & neighborhood will be producing those stories nonstop. You have to earn merit, not beg for it.

You really should look up the dictionary definition of the word "merit".

What the hell? It is only 1 point of merit and you think it is the end of the world? Sorry to say but you are weaklings. It is just a f damn 1 point and you think you can not even get it? Your guys' mentality is really broken because doing a lot of bounty hunting.

This situation will be at least as annoying as the spam that occurred after the introduction of the merit system. The measure was long overdue and many users were asking for it. Kiss

I'm calling it the "pissed off newbie invasion". I expect for a few weeks at least we'll have half a dozen threads opened addressing the new implementation, and everyone rehashing what has already been said in the main thread.

In a desperate attempt to get some merit, yes. Users, especially merit sources, need to wake up and not give out merit for rehashed comments in Meta.

The battle has only just begun, my friend. I hope theymos scorches the earth of villainy and only the true heroes are left standing.

The question is do you still want to ask for merit knowing that you will just like hitting you with a fist on your hard face!
Don't be silly! Don't be little them because if you do you will get what you deserve.
