May sound silly but has anyone tried meriting themselves on a discussion they start. I noticed that the option to merit a post is still available on a post we make, I wanted to try it out, but I do not want to default, so I decided to come ask first.
Is it possible to merit yourself?
In my opinion, Doing merit yourself is seen as an attempt to boost one's ego and can also have a negative impact on one's reputation and trust in one's. My view is that instead of focusing on self-benefit, let's strive to make quality, informative, interesting and valuable posts for the community.
By contributing meaningfully, we can gain acceptance and be valued in the community, which is a better way, a more valuable way. and sustainable way to build a reputation. So, Let's embrace the values of a merit-based system and work to build a supportive and collaborative community that rewards individuals based on contributions and achievements.
