honestly, this makes me very sad, even if i understand why this merit system is implemented for.
i am like 3-4 weeks away from my sr.member rank and this fucks me really up
i'm sad, angry and shocked together X_x". now i have to collect like 150 merits in a short time but how Oo", i dont think that people will freely start to like everything i post... since humans are not generous, infact, they can be very harsh to others, being anonymous on the internet...
You made it this far with 100+ merits to your name. You must have been doing something right. Don't give up yet. As for members being harsh I think that's more of twitter thing loli am like 3-4 weeks away from my sr.member rank and this fucks me really up

I was in the same boat as that guy, was already full member and next ranked seemed far fetched but somehow reached sr member just few months ago (took 3 years!), I think good start is to stop caring about getting merits and just give your honest thoughts on topics you are interested in.
If we keep thinking about the merits we will only get depressed as its a fact that you will not get all those merits instantly to rank up. If we can focus on your work, the merits will keep coming on our good posts.
