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.
Brother first of all don't panic if you want to be successful in this form then improve yourself post good quality which will benefit others don't think about merit because your job is only Making a good post quality discussion in the forum. merit is a secondary thing that will earn you over time but you should not compromise on the quality of your post. Increase your post activity and a good post will help to reach your next rank.
