If you consider yourself a good poster, I see no reason to create such themes. You deserve it, and, in theory, the merits given to you are a kind of gratitude for your work from the members of the forum.
Isn't it?
But by creating such a topic, do you acknowledge that all the merits are given to you as help? It is not right. For this, the merit system was introduced. The fact that you contribute usefully to the forum is returned to you with gratitude of merit.
So stop fawning. If you are worthy of your merits, take it for granted, if not, then continue to be a sweet snowflake.
Exactly if a member has ranked up and received merits it is not that it was just given as gift or help to you but based on the quality of your post and information provided by you is worthy or not.The introduction of merit system was to motivate members to write up quality posts and forum see less shitposters and if you are gaining merits from other members it means you have potential for the same and keep going the same way and you will soon get to the highest rank.Although it's good that you have thanks feelings for all merit givers but save them for future.Your posts determine your merit and ranking up so keep working effectively towards it man.Best wishes you ahead.
