Litereally the next post from your account after creating this thread was as follows :


Insults, misrepresentation, profanity, misspelling, poor grammar and the list goes on. Why would anybody merit this? This is representative of your entire post history.

Then you sit here baffled that you are struggling to move up the ranks. You routinely insult other users on faulty or non-existent logic. You are consistently crass, unpalatable and vulgar in such a way that isn't even close to humorous. You put out one-line posts that bring nothing to the conversation and only seek to troll around while being rewarded for it.

If you truly want merit then you're going to have to completely reshape your behavior around the forum. Merit is not even something that's important, so you should be worried about something that is actually a priority; something like being a contributing member of the community, learning how bitcoin works, or providing a good/service to the forum. There are endless ways to provoke merit into your direction, but none of them are gimmicks and all of them require behavior to change.
