That's poor from me, I thought I would have helped about 30+ newbie to rank up by now. I received over 100+merit that's around 50+smerits just in January 2019. I have been very active in Beginners and help board trying to find newbie with quality post and post history but so far it has been discouraging. I'll start exploring new boards to find those newbie with quality post aiming to hit a target of 50+ helped newbie by December 2019. For the newbie that must have missed check this thread out "UPDATED [01/02/2019]: List of Active Merit Giveaways threads."
