the quick way to get merit is by looking for members who offer smerit to those who make good posts for the answers to their questions. Usually this is in the
META forum
Nah, seems you didn't know what smerit is. Please refer below.
You have Merits, those you cannot send.
You also have sMerits, those you can only send, they have no other purpose.
When someone gives merit to you they lose sMerit of the amount transfered and you gain Merit as well as sMerit (which in case you can send again).
Eg should I send 10 Merit to you for a post, my sMerit would decrease by 10.
Your merit would increase by 10 and your sMerit would increase by 5.
In fact, getting Merit is not impossible, but only if you have to publish articles and emails seriously, and you should try to give others help to get it!
You don't need to create articles or emails, just post substantially and helpful.
