No, if you will going to behave properly as the merit source will going to look over you as time passes by and will definitely help you to rank up if you are also a good poster. I have known some users here that already ranking through the help of the merit source. Just be cool and obey the forum rules and aside from that you have to extend help among other users who are new and be careful about your posting habit that may disgrace you as your account. It would also be a plus points for yourself if you are good in English Grammar Construction. You will be able to rank up immediately if you have commendable post. But, if you are not, the you will be one of the bitter users that will complain of not receiving some merits. LOL. I have experience that already so now I am just likely contented with my rank. LOL
