Create good post then you can get merit. Posting like this, then no one will give you merit. With the mindset of helping others, you will definitely get merit. If your post is not informative, you will not get merit, simple . You have to give something good to the community, which is important for the members of the community. I have seen many members use different strategies for getting merit, but they fail badly. So spend time on the forums and post some good post. The community must reward you.
