Instead of expecting perfection from merit source, then find your own way to contribute to whomever you think is worthy regardless of whether you like doing it on a local board (recommended) or on a global board.
It's not bad to expect from the source of achievement, because that is the most likely choice.
But the question is, do we fall into their category?
I agree more with this parable "Because the process never betrays the result".
I mean, when we start identifying ways to make a positive impact on others, that's where we're most likely to stick around.
But I don't urge you to do that because maybe you have your own way of how you want to contribute whether it's about merit or maybe with your quality posts.
Everyone has their own limitations and advantages when choosing a place to go.
Choosing one, is the most likely thing to do, either achievement or post quality. Because people will develop, when they always pay attention to the drawbacks that must be corrected and take the time to learn.
So far I've also started learning how the merit system works, they will come when someone starts to raise the standard of quality and is able to make a contribution.
While the pattern may be different, some come with little benefit and some come with all at once.
Are parts that need to be selected and improved, so that the way the forum works will be more systematic, measurable and run well.
Because if you hope all at once, it may be difficult to achieve in the near future.
