I have been here since 2017 and have Total time logged in: 16 hours and 55 minutes.
How does this Merit thing work? I am defiantly not asking for free or just handouts but I don't understand it.
If I want to give someone a Merit can I not because I am a Newbie? Or do I need to upgrade membership first?
With the rank you have now, as a newbie since 2017, we can easily increase our rank because there is no merit at this time, you have not even been able to increase your rank even in Jr. member and now it's 2023, you're also a newbie.
This is just showing that you have no interest in engaging in matters that make sense here in this forum. In fact, there is a lot to learn here to tell you frankly. You can't really give merit because no one gives you merit because most people here think you don't deserve to be given merit for them.
