Today, I can tell you that my rank distance from Hero rank is 150 merit. I have fulfilled one of the conditions (activity point), so I think now I just need to think about how I can get one of the other conditions, which is merit. It may take a long time, but I'm sure it will be achieved.
Don't worry buddy, Hero Member has been seen, one of the conditions you need is an additional 150 Merit to go there. I've reviewed some of your posts and left some merits there, the addition of some Merits that you just received certainly won't get you promoted to Hero Member, at least it can speed up your steps for promotion to a higher level.
Always do what's best for the forum, you can do it slowly, without realizing it, you've reached the desired rank.
