1. Create a topic reporting one super obvious phishing site
2. Wait for the merits to rake in
3. ? ? ?
4. Profit!

Opps!
1. Don't create merit thread
Very rarly I have created merit thread and very rarly I sent merit on Merit thread. I know anyone could earn merit by reporting scams and phishing sites. But it doesn't mean always you will get merit. Depends on how accurate your report. Honestly I don't feel it's your title and post matching each other and it's not something important for meta board. Lots of thread here about how to earn merit easily.

The only one way to earn merit, don't create merit thread and contribute your best experiences and knowledge with community.

I like earning merit as it pisses off cryptohunter/TOAA.

Its like a sport to some, means very little to us who earn them easily, but pisses off those who cant earn it themselves.

Not as easy and simple as you say. A high rank may not necessarily follow a signature campaign that has a good salary.
There is an obligation to make quality and useful posts. More merit of course the quality of the post must be better too.

Exactly, that's why I mentioned it's optional.

They cannot always be given merit. Because it depends on who can see and read if that post is really good. And sometimes even high quality posts are not always given merit because others are lazy to give? or just don't want to give? others want to give merit in case they have no sendable merit!.

I want to do a topic on "How many Artists collected enough merits to rank up from the Art contest"

Maybe we should have a new rank - Artist.

[rosezionjohn]

What about creating "I'm almost ___ rank" or the "road to ___ rank" topics? That should work too in raking up merits right?

I agree with creating one sticky thread for all phishing sites but he problems is the updating of the OP. As we can observe, many of the "list of ___" threads become outdated or obsolete pretty fast.

Yes, indeed. And plus a bit of luck sometimes. For example, earning merits from "10th anniversary art contest". It's beyond prediction, right? 
What we can learn from this? Do your best at every attempt!

Yes, that is true and happened to me. Get luck from the 10th Bitcointalk contest.
Many merit that I got thanks to the artwork that I made. 
The amount of merit given was beyond my estimation.
Do your best for every effort, whatever it is. In order to get better feedback too.

Wait for the 20th bitcointalk anniversary for the art contest but I doubt theymos will repeat the same contest.

I don't think the next contest will same with old contest.
Few users will repost their art they send in 10th art contest. And maybe steal other art from other user.
