How long does it take to NOT be a "newbie" anymore on this forum?
If you continue to post worthless garbage that nobody deems merit-worthy, you'll stay Newbie forever.
How about you inform yourself by reading a few of the sticky threads in
Beginners & Help section. I'm certain it's explained there clearly how ranking up works and that both Activity and Merits are needed. You lack the latter.
It's no surprise that many garbage posters here have mostly zero merits. There's a reason...
Fair enough. I haven't been able to contribute much. No excuses. Play like a champion.
