In short you are not happy with the merit system. Many were not when it was first introduced in 2018. Since then there were members who was in its favour and was against it but it has been 6 years now. Time goes fast!

For your account the unhappiness makes completely valid sense. 5 years and you are still a Member. Either you do not give time to the forum or you do not make good enough posts to get attention from others. You need to change yourself first if you want to see a change for your account. It's not the merit system that needs to be changed.
