When someone gives well reply and gets impressed with their effort but you are out of merits or zero merits in account. What is the better solution in this situation? I've noted few replies from member on my old post that they must deserves to get merited.
There use to be a thread where you're allowed to submit a link to a quality post poster you've seen on the forum that you feel is not getting the expected merits on the thread or post, I don't know if that thread is still active, if it is, the best thing to do would have been to report such post on the thread for some merit source to check if it's worth meriting. Alternatively, you can boldly make a reply to the post to indicate how helpful that contribution his to you, by doing that, some persons will sendables might just give it merit if they so desires.
There are still a lot of good threads and replies on the forum that have not yet been merited yet, it doesn't mean that it will not be merited, it just takes someone to come across it and click the send button. Because you're still new to the forum, don't be too bothered about sending every quality post merits, if you're able to become a quality poster yourself, you will earn merit and in the process have enough sendables that will help you merit any post you see that's of high quality.
