There no way earn merit by quick method, in a result your account will be worthless. Because forum people is to intelligent than you. So there is no very easy way to skip such behaviour that I mentioned above.
Well, I guess there is but it is once in a year. The 10th year bitcoin and the forum celebration contest that made by theymos there a lot of forum members who ranked up. For me, --that was a quick method of gaining merit if you know how to make your own art masterpiece.
Indeed, I agree with you that it will become a worthless account once it is busted by DT members and investigators in this forum. They are very intelligent in fiding shady and malicious activity in the forum.
Indeed, this thread of yours will help those newbies that wanted to rank fast in a quick way but improper of getting merit. They should learn first and keep helping others via posting constructive posts.
