Same as I .. I am still a JR. Member I am only 1 merits left to be a member and I still don't give up on getting my 1 merit... I am focusing on studying more about this forum and provide a good and meaningful replies and topics that could help someone... Even though I still don't get my deserved merit it is still ok to me and it encourages me the most to pursue more in contributing to this forum... ^_^ that is my 2019 goal..
Perhaps, I can help you with that, just give me a certain post of yours that is something useful and well-written. And I might consider giving you a reward and let you have the Member Rank. And just to be sure I don't intend to give Merits to a post that has been already rewarded by other users.
IMO, it has been already rewarded and I simply can't give another consideration to that.
