I gave this 3 merits it was good.
I dont give high merits to legends as they most likely dont need them.
I prefer giving guys like you 3-6 merits.
Lower ranked.
Not new.
Well written quality posts.
In fact when I find a good post from someone that ticks the boxes above I often will read all their posts.
End up 🆙 giving 3 or 4 merits a few times.
Below is a quote from a reputable legendary who also share same understanding with you.
...don't give me merits in the future--save them for lower-ranked members who need them to rank up, especially those on any local board you might frequent.
But I understand that on the long run, this understanding or decisions changes. This is a place where decisions are made and countered by self. I do not actually understand why. I am yet to figure out why some positive decisions are not sustainable in this forum. I take myself for instance, there are some good decisions I will like to implement in the forum, but they fail most times even on the conception stage (before implementation). That is not me in the real world. I am a fighter, I do not giveup on a course, I fight until there is no energy again to strike. But here, I easily give up, I am very fragile here. I am yet to discover why.
