If you really want to get some bigger amount of merits you can try to make everyday at least 5-10 posts on this forum,or 30-50 weekly but not too much and try to make creative posts.
Best places where you can get merits are:1.Bitcoin Discuss
2.Beginners&Help
3.Meta
4.Serious Discussion
5.Trading Discussion
I hope that this will help you

I have heard recently that merit is being poured mostly at Local Language, lol.
If someone objectively posts for getting merit, he may get 10 or some more at maximum. Why do I need to post in specific board only for having merits? People should post where they enjoy the most.
In my case, I was recently in 777 campaign where people get bonus rate for creating 15 posts in gambling. But I didn't just because I don't like gambling or I don't have experience on it. Therefore, I should not post there and I heard my mind, not the bonus pay rate. That's how a forum should be browsed.
