I have almost forgotten about that.
During recent days, when I saw the topic of
CryptopreneurBrainboss, namely
Another win for the merit system. Thank you LoyceV, who got promoted to a Full Member rank. The topic reminds me that I was ranked up weeks ago.

I joined the forum last year, then got stucked at Junior Member when the merit system launched on 24th of January 2018.
After a very long journey, less than one year (we have come closer to the one year anniversary of merit system), eventually I was a Full Member since December.
At the day merit system launched, I felt something like 'Oh no, I will got stucked at Junior Member or Member for years'. Fortunately, I have made my initiatives with appropriate approaches to improve myself at first, then contributed to the forum. Consequently, months later (months, not days), merits come to me automatically.
In a word, everyone can rank up with merit system. It takes time, but it is possible and we all can rank up, except Spambies.
Looking at patrol, it is clearly that spamming endemic has still been there, but at least it has been reduced at somewhat extents.
In addition, Spambies (most of them) got stucked at their deserved lower-ranks.
My topics:
1)
Time Series Analysis on Distributed Merits in the forum (daily, weekly, monthly)2)
Available courses on Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology from colleges and Universities3)
Time Series on monthly statistics of forum (new users, new topics, new posts)4)
Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users
My plan in the year 2019:- Mastering skills to use data dumps from Piggy.
- Getting promoted to a Senior member.
- Opening a give-away sMerits topic for lower rank users someday when I ranked up to a Senior Member.
I thank to all sMerit senders. All your sMerits made me happy and known that I have been on the right direction.
