Is the easiest way to gain merit really just posting Moonboy content ?
Maybe i should make a second acc.
Merits are useless
If you have no intention of ever ranking up then thats ok but if you want to become a higher ranked member here then Merits are not useless, you need them along with the required activity to rank up.
We all gonna die anyway
why lose your time to get merits when there are so many more worthy things to do in a lifetime
You are sort of correct, Bossian, that merits are not the be all end all in the world... but they do tend to show which members are more actively involved in the community (this forum).. which may or may not be important to you from your own personal assessment of what is important in life.
Accordingly, if you just post whatever the fuck you like (or don't post, or just read various content), maybe you will get merits and maybe you will not. There is no real compelling reason to focus considerable energies in the pursuit of merits for the sake of it, like you suggested, especially if you are otherwise comfortable with your forum posts, whatever level of acceptance you have in the forum and your chosen level of participation.
