Merit is a fun thing to get on this forum, but if you haven't gotten a lot of merit to get us up in rankings it shouldn't be an obstacle and you can keep yourself motivated, it could be that other forum members don't consider what we convey important and informative so there isn't any merit obtained, but it does not rule out because there are still not many who are aware of our posts, so it would also be better for us to also distribute the sMerits we have to other members who we deem worthy rather than just storing them, because there is no advantage in storing them compared to help each other.
