To be honest, I'm still a beginner here. and I want to ask if our ranking will not go up if we don't have merit?

please explain, and thank you

Hi, I'm sure you are satisfied with the answers you got from other members regarding your question and it's 100% true that your account won't rank up if you don't get 'merits', so you have to work hard to improve your account reputation and your post quality .

You can read in this thread where you must have both activity and merit if you want to rank up Merit & new rank requirements.

It doesn't like in the past before 2018 where you can rank up if you only have activity, merit is a way to prevent from spammers and low quality post users. So if you don't get any merit, it mean you're a shitposter.

Your last words are harsh on newbies, it's not a crime that we're new to the forum or haven't made merit convincing posts. Definitely with time merits will come and we'll move up the ladder. All the same no hard feelings.

I think you don't need to get carried emotion away with the words made by despairo, his presentation looks harsh but in my opinion, it's good because he conveyed it firmly and clearly, good luck to you.
