I know this topic have been raised countless times here, but this is me addressing my own concern, no hard feeling please!

I have never really give a denm or find any needed of upgrading my account rank in as much as am able to use it to do whatever I want to use it for such as;
creation of threads, comments, and  sending of DMs.

But not until recently I've find the need of upgrading it a to higher rank and not newbies anymore.
Since newbies have some certain restrictions such as posting of images etc... And this had been a big drawback for me.

Like I understand ones account can only get upgraded only when he's been giving a merit by others forum users.

So I want to know, is there no other way one can get his/her account upgrade without hoping for other forum members to award him/her a merit?

Am not used to being dependent on something, and me hope to get merit from any member of the forum is no different from being dependent.
