I know that earning a merit in the current situation is really hard to acquire and I think that it's not fair to earn merit by paying it just to acquire that single merit. I believe that time will come for me to earn that prestigious merit as I do support the admin's purpose of having this new policy so that this forum can minimize spammers. Merit will come in the right time and day for those who work for it hard. Just continue believing and continue what you do best.
