As a newbie in this forum. I am very curious about merit. even though at the beginning when I just joined this forum I didn't know the use of merit at all. I think merit is just like the like button on facebook status that can be given by anyone even by beginners who just joined. but it turns out I was wrong. because when I first joined this forum I tried to give merit to someone with posts that I thought were useful. but it can't. because it turns out I have to have that merit first. and collecting it is not as easy as I imagined.

And I also think that it doesn't matter if I don't have merit.

but when someone gives me merit for the first time. I became very happy and began to understand the importance of merit.

Because I feel that my writing is appreciated by someone who gave me that merit.

but I'm wondering, what are the reasons or criteria that can make all friends in this forum willing to give merit to someone?

if I myself if I already have enough merit.
then I will give merit to someone if their writing is useful for me.

So I ask this question to be a learning material for me who is a beginner. to be used as a reference or future reference in writing topics on this forum or when I want to comment on someone's topic.

thank you very much everyone.
