Earlier it was very easy to get merit but now it is very difficult to get merit.
Maybe you're not a quality poster or an active member, while you're complaining this, other serious members were busy thinking about quality contributions they could offer and are taking research on what to contribute.
I was a bit disappointed with the way people were trying to get merit.
How are we sure you're not doing thesame here?
And for the purpose of newbies, I will say one thing, after reading this post, you should never complain again.
Is this a threat or command on newbies or what, did any newbie made mention by complaining to you on merits, if you really understand how hard it is to earn merit then you will also know how to find that quality post that could deserve receiving your merits.
