I have to be honest, I made a few mistakes in the beginning. I even received two neutral trust ratings from some members, and I wonder if that’s what’s still holding me back. I see accounts with 20 to 30 activities that already have more than 10 merits, while I’m struggling a bit.
It was after receiving my first warning that I really started to question the importance of the forum. Before that, I didn’t fully understand the rules and was posting somewhat carelessly. I recognize my mistakes, and I know many others are in the same situation. Some even go as far as creating new accounts to avoid the negative feedback they've received.
I admit that I also created multiple accounts at one point because I didn’t really understand how the forum worked or its importance. But over time, I realized that the key here isn’t just being active but posting useful and quality content. Merits come when you genuinely contribute something valuable to the discussions, not just by posting for the sake of it.
So, for those of you looking to rank up like I am, the key is really to focus on making meaningful contributions.
Good luck to everyone, and let’s keep growing the community together!
