When I read your respond, I am quite disappointed to know that it's yours, not by the system.
Yeah, no, you're not going to automatically get merit.
And you ought to be really effing grateful that Jet Cash was kind enough to give you a merit. He deserves a thank you and not what you wrote here. I suspect he gave it to you out of a misplaced sense of pity, but nevertheless you got it.
Man, I'm having a hell of a time finding merits to give out to lower ranked members around here, and I've been looking in sections I normally don't frequent. It's like wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling shitposting around here and I just don't want to spend all of my time skimming through them looking for the good stuff. If any of you guys have any recommendations, PM me.
