based on what I have read on some posts, merit is significant for us to increase our ranks, is this really true?
You must have required
both activity and merit to increase your rank, not merit only. If you have requirement merit for legendary ( 1000 merit ) but you not have activity requirement for that rank, you will not rank up to legendary. Example of this member
nulliusHe have 1300+ merit but only have 252 activity. His rank is Senior member now, to reach Hero member (480 activity) he must wait for 4 months, and to reach Legendary he must wait for 8 -12 months more.

Thanks for that mate, I need this one, even though I am a beginner here, I already want to know how will I earn from it, because it will motivate me for making some quality posts in this forum. I have been looking for the right answers for too long, and you answered me so well, so I am thankful for that.
I have searched about merit in this forum, but no result shows, so I thought there are no posts about this yet. As what you have shared about that link, there are already three posts to have merit in this platform, and based on what I have read, they are all saying that I need to stay here for too long and keep creating quality posts, so if someone finds it is so helpful or useful then they might give me merit.
