Also, know the difference of being joyful and boastful, receiving merits (especially from well known members) here doesn't give us the right to brag ourselves. Always choose to stay humble and kind.
You can brag... just keep in mind that until you get to maybe 50-100 received merits from 20+ different senders you can't really draw any statistically significant conclusions from it.
Nor should anyone at any time
try to earn merits. Merits are supposed to follow good posts, not the other way around.
