That's a pretty poor excuse tbh. I am registered here since a few month and was able to earn plenty of merits. If you put effort in it, its obviously possible.
No offense Brother, but you are not "earning" plenty of merits.
You beg to your merit source every month and he gives them to you :
Like this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5044331.msg53940168#msg53940168 where you posted 27 posts that in "your eyes" did not receive enough merit.
Boom, you get 38 merits from the merit source and an extra 20 from other members afterward (didn't count all of them, but rough estimate).
Or this one here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5044331.msg54196547#msg54196547 asking for 49 merits (and also any potential merit by other users that would feel enclined to merit your posts again).
On both occasions, you posted more than the max 10 posts you could submit.
Was ihr tun müsst
Sucht bis zu 10 eurer eigenen Posts, die in euren Augen bisher nicht ausreichend Merit erhalten haben
(es ist absolut in Ordnung, wenn ihr der Ansicht seid, dass ich euch zu wenig Merit gegeben habe, auch so einen Post dürft ihr melden).
The German Board is fantastic to earn merit.
It has twice the amount of merit per posts than the French board.
Merit/Post ratio
Since i made charts for posts and merit, might as well compare that data to get merit/post ratio. I must say that results are surprising, and for some boards might be even misleading (e.g. Dutch board had quite a few posts deleted compared to their activity, and that might pump their ratio). Like in the post chart, some boards are excluded due negative post count, or in Hebrew case not getting even single merit.
I expect this chart to change quite a lot each month and shouldn't be taken too seriously, as many things can affect it, like deleted posts, merit giveaways etc.
just my two cents
