Even I need merit to rank up, I see this topic is not necessary.

It does not belong to Meta, if you want to keep it, please moves it to Reputation.

Meta is for forum-related discussions like Merit system, trust flags, new forum software (Epochtalk), bugs and more. Not for personal rank or personal reputation.

Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
Bitcointalk Ranking-up pipeline- Those close to their next rank (lacking Merits)
[Merit] Help newbies and those who have a little left to the next rank

This topic will become places for users to exploit merit from merit sources and make Meta like trash board.
