Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried, please can someone tell me what I will need to do or how long I will need to be here for before I get merit and other rewards?
To paraphrase, this is what you need to do to receive merits - make high quality posts and replies. If a user likes it and wants to say think you, encourage you, agrees with your point, and even disagree with your point, they can give you merits for it. If you want to move up the ranks you need merits.
For you now, your neutral tag says you write with the assistance of AI. You won't get any merits if you continue doing so as no user will want to encourage that behaviour which is against forum rules where you do not state that you got assistance from an AI software. Start from there and improve on your post quality and in a matter of time, you will be recognized for this and awarded some merits.
Look at this inforgraphics on merits to help you better understand -
