OP, why do you need merit? You do not look like a person who is interested in the forum, it is clear from your posts that you are doing your business here, and still very rarely appear on the forum.
For you, something else is more important, not to spoil your reputation. In order for the users you communicate with to trust you, you need to be honest with them. I think you will also be interested in another topic. Not getting a negative tag from DT members at some point is more significant than having a few merits.
