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...
The reason for this is that the merit point is only exclusive to a few users, not the content provided in the topic by the users. When a user posts a topic, if the topic has already been discussed in the forum and you think it is repetitive and useless, you start mocking that person with your sarcasm and false pride. If this is not the case and repetition of knowledge does no harm to anyone, I am sure you will delete this post too!
