We all know the beginning stage is not easy as a newcomer needs to be patient. Atleast he or she should be getting no matter how little some reward for their resources in terms of time and materials.
I joined the forum and all I told some people around me about it, the next question is," how much have u earned", I was absolutely discourage as I remained mute till date.
What is your question actually asking? Is that how much merit you get or how much money you have earned on this forum? lol regarding the title of your topic, actually in all threads you have the potential to get it, it's just that the quality of your posts is often the benchmark, so try exploring the WO thread, maybe you can get some merit there because there are quite a lot of merit circulating in there, but remember you should never offend the senior members there.
