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?
There isn’t a merit bias towards newbies, merits are given based on quality not rank, if there is a bias I think it favors newbies because they get more merit for posts that wouldn’t get that much attention if it was posted by a higher rank. The reason it may seem to you that merit is difficult is because you’re doing it wrong, 50% of your post history are in off-topic board, it’s not surprising that you find it difficult to get any merit when posting in these boards.
