As a newbie in this forum,the first thing in your mind in this forum is to learn and comprehend the rules and regulations of this forum.on the other hand still need to work very hard to implement significant thread and contributions to the forum.
Going through all this process in learning and adapting to the policy of the forum,you(newbie) still have high expect ions to contribute immensely in the forum which also need motivation from the high ranking in the forum.
The desire for learning comes from receiving positive comments from forum users when you ask questions or participate in discussions. The forum is a learning platform, and when you deploy yourself to learning and making contributions here in the forum, you will be inspired by the knowledge you obtain.
The more merit you got the more motivation you start generating which make you to strive more and more with your progress in the forum.
Yes, merit is a motivator, but it should not be your primary goal right now. If you make merit hunting your primary goal, you will end up with fewer merits, but if you study and contribute to the forum, you will earn enough merits because merits are a reward for quality forum posting and contributions.
My question is are the high ranking acknowledging when a newbie is trying to deliver daily and how hard is it for them to reward such newbie with merit?
When a newbie asks a reasonable and educative question, they receive merit for it; similarly, when they post a quality post, higher-ranked members have nothing to do with their smerits other than sending them out to the post that was found worthy of being merited; thus, regardless of your rank, if your post is worthy, you will undoubtedly be merited.
