I personally have never get a merit since this system was launched, because maybe my post was not good quality. but for you, make it good and quality posts so that you can achieve the highest rank.

I want to highlight a point to you this maybe help you to realize why you didn't get any merit yet.
From scrolling through your post history you never really engaged into a discussion on any thread, simply posting on a thread and ignoring them forever will make you be another shit poster or bounty hunter.
