My two cents:
- There is no joy to help shitposters rank up (I don't say you are shitposter, I just say about the general fact) so no one will help you a single merit for that post. It takes the forum (with merit system, rank requirements and community help) about two years to gradually wipe out shitposters. There is no joy to help shitposters growing again.
- Two years ago, I began as a newbie like you, and now I am on my way to the Legendary rank.
You can do it, if:
- Don't beg for merits
- Learn, improve, and contribute to the forum, community in right way.
