I feel like I'll be stuck forever in a few merits before Full Member.
It depends on your post quality after all. Why do you think you are stuck in while you are posting in altcoin ann? For your info, most of the people who care about the forum, don't like the altcoin discussion
garbage mostly. I personally rarely visit altcoin boards just because I don't find anything worthy. I believe most of the merit sources also don't visit those boards. I can remember only once I had seen suchmoon to give merit someone in altcoin boards.
You may post quality posts on that board but people don't see those because of the garbage. Therefore, possibility of getting merit from that board is near zero. I have seen you to post on other board too but I didn't find one to spend a merit there.
I know most of the posts there are made of bots and/or immature people, resulting in the garbage you're saying. But since I'm around the crypto-space for about 1.5 years I don't think I have anything special to offer in the Bitcoin forum where many veterans are gathered. I prefer to talk about general price analysis and about the few altcoins I've researched, providing feedback whenever I can.
It's just discouraging to not only for my effort to go un-merited, but to also see many random posts getting highly merited (like the one I've mentioned here:
