But I like this merit effect. A lot of people work hard to make the best posts to get Merit awards. New people sometimes forget to measure their strength. So they often think too far and make them feel difficult.The best right is to work according to your ability, because in the end your knowledge will expand and have a wider range of discussions. You can continue to learn and observe, discuss on the best topics that are mastered and expand on other topics. Observe modifications to the best of your ability.
Personally I've observed that if you have got good quality with your post, getting merited wouldn't actually be much of a problem because most of the post that have quality has got a way of contributing positively to the lives of the readers so they are definitely going to reward your quality but expecting merits on poor quality post is something that isn't realistic because most persons wouldn't see the value your post is adding to them so it will not trigger the drive to reward your contents with merits but a good quality post gets merited with or without much stress.
Even while working according to your availability, always make sure to maintain quality because that's the only way to getting rewarded well enough so you get to scale new ranking on the forum and earn better reputations on the forum.
