Re: Does this tread really deserve the attention it has got?
I was seeing the threads in Beginner session and saw that below thread has 50 merits at a shot.

My question is, what message is this thread conveying that is useful to the community? Merits in my understanding are to encourage the account which is giving useful information to the users here. The thread does not even contain the struggle he did to upgrade his account, so that some newbie can be inspired.
Is getting merits that easy? Posting I become a Jr member on my birthday and get 50 merits, just like that? No struggle, no information nothing. I may be wrong here but my opinion is that in this case merit system is misused. I would request your attention and opinion on this.

Ranking up and earning merits is not so easy here but if you really are a well- poster with good posts and profound knowledge about what you actually are posting on then you deserve to earn some merits which would rank you up.
Perhaps, merit system might be misused over here as sending merits (probably 50) on a single post which dose'nt even have that weightage might be something which abuses the merit system. TMAN would have sent merits on the posts he like by digging some post history and not only the single post but no hard feelings.
That thread indeed motivated me and filled a light of inspiration in my heart that even i can earn few merits if i strongly contribute towards the betterment of this forum. And same might be the case with a number of users same as me who want to rankup so thinking rationally, perhaps TMAN did the right thing.
