I have been into the system for some months now and I have made over twenty posts but no simply merit has been given to me or earn by me and this make me to be surprise on how these merit are generated, given or earned. However, looking at it in another perspective, I don't know if it is because I did not meet the number of my post require to earn a merit or because of the low quality of my post that is the reason why I had not been able to earn a single merit. So please I will like to get more clarifications on the possible requirement for earning merit.
Very thoughtful of you to ask. I believe you will learn a whole lot of things from this thread only if you can follow up and read. Here, number of posts don't really matter, what matters is quality of posts. Number of post only matters when you join a campaign where you are expected to complete certain number of posts in a week.
Even I don't have such a skill, but if he does have it, it should be easy to get merit with the data analysis ability for this forum.
Create a thread that may have a technical discussion about forum, crypto or some data analysis that has never been discussed.
That's the advice I do give to newbies. Operate from the area of your core competence and you will add value to yourself and the forum. If only Op actually possess that skill, it will be helpful to him.
