I have attempted to reach member status,
You joined in July and began trolling from day 1. Even your username is like poking a thick rubber phallus in the collective eye of bitcointalk.
You've only made 90 posts since joining and you've actually managed to earn a single merit--that's more than a lot of other members with way more posts than that have accomplished.
I don't think you're a stupid ignorant troll, though you sure as hell can play that role very well. Maybe if you tone down the vitriol and actually start writing better, more constructive posts you'd earn more merit. It's up to you, but if you keep going the way you are, you're never going to earn even 10 merits. There's too much competition and too many moronically shitty posts to wade through to get to the good stuff.
