OP, opening this thread is in bad light; considering that it was opened barely 24hrs after your registration on this forum. Yeah, you're simply telling us that you've been here longer that we officially know for you to have come to the conclusion that it's difficult getting merit as newbies.
Well, for your question, I think the best way to get merit is to engage in conversations aimed at providing information to issues raised by other members. Contribute something meaningful without any intention of getting rewarded for it. Trust me, someone will read your posts and find them worthy to place merit on. Be passionate about what you do here. On the long run that will pay off.
Well thanks for your advice. Regarding the reason I made this post was because of what I heard from my guys who introduced the platform to me, so I made the suggestion to them and decided to make this post, I'm just getting to know some things and figure out some things.
BTW, I'm not saying this is the way forward, I'm just giving a suggestion and an opinion. And, yes you'll are right, the best way to go is to learn, engage and share ur ideas.
With merit system, many things changed, first with rank requirements and your efforts put in for ranking up. After you ranking up and even were approved to join signature campaign, you can not stop there. With competition of other campaign participants and applicants as well as stricter management of campaign managers with time, you always have to keep up your quality posts, and contributions with time. This approach in posting style will help you receive merit even you no longer need to rank up more, or no higher rank for moving up.
If you don't put your efforts in your posts, threads, you will not receive merit and finally you will be kicked out of good campaigns my managers.
Wow, I've not heard of it this way, thanks for the insight.
