What to do in that situation in this forum.

[Findingnemo]

Don't mean to hijack the thread but what are merits for?

Apart from ranking up, high number of merits under a profile means the user is an active contributor of the forum in some ways. The merit system was introduced to combat the spam and it did pretty good job as well in that matter but merits will not be awarded to all the posts even if it deserves merit for reason like the post buried by further replies so no one with merit noticed that post.

When someone gives well reply and gets impressed with their effort but you are out of merits or zero merits in account. What is the better solution in this situation? I've noted few replies from member on my old post that they must deserves to get merited.

If you are in a situation like this, then just increase your post quality. If you make quality posts, you will receive merit so that you will be able to give out the smerit which you receive. I don’t think there is anything you can do if you have no merit. Or you can just submit a link to the post on the thread that @LoyceV created, if the post is really worth meriting, then people will definitely merit the post.

But you might even submit some posts that are useful to you, and they won’t be merited, because some posts might be useful to you, but other people won’t really find them useful, so don’t be disappointed if you submit a link and no one merits the post.

It's too early for you to start thinking about merits or gifting same to deserving members who have responded to your post. Take it that you are not yet qualified to give merits yet because you do not have any merits on your own post. If you don't have merits to give, you can just acknowledge their contributions and move on. Any other member of the forum who finds the posts worthy of merits can send merits to those posts. Now you should focus on learning from those deserving posts, that's the privilege you should be enjoying.

Merit is something that is given independently to users of the forum but it's unfair sometimes because some posts that are worth giving merit don't get it. What I will suggest you do in this situation is provide the link to the post, with the topic on the thread created by Fillippone to address issues like this. However, some posts may seem worthy of merit from your belief and aren't worth it from the stance of a merit source.

[fillippone]

Don’t get frustrated about the lack of merits.
Merit source will notice your post quality, sooner or later.
In addition to my merit thread, I suggest you also this infamous post:

Things like this do happen most times, but that is the main reason we have merit sources in the forum to check some merit worthy posts that are not merited due to lack of merits and so on. If you don’t have smerits, you should not worry yourself, but you can bookmark the threads in case you have smerits to send in the future.

Beefier, there used to be some threads that allow users to submit unmerited posts by other users which is really helpful, but most if these threads are not active as they used to be before. Therefore, if you have any thread that worth been merited, keep an eye on the thread and merit it whenever you have smerit.

There's no time limit when you see a post that is good and doesn't have merits to give or send. You can send merits sooner or later when you have merits or post it in a thread where you can submit it to the thread where you can submit good post that didn't get merited and check if it is indeed merit worthy. If you aren't aware, there's a thread before (I don't know if it's still active or still going on) which I myself submitted the links of a post in there that deserves a merit. There is also a thread by filippone if you have a post that deserves a merit.

The question is, are they worthy enough for merit sources? There are times when we think our posts are good and impressive enough, but those merit sources may only find it quite common and not even adding new source of information that could educate other forum members. So the problem is the quality of our post, which those merit sources wouldn’t find it worthy enough of their merits. Just keep on posting, until you hit that quality post that these merit sources are looking for.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to earn merits these days. When I was a lower member, I earn merits fairly. But since I became a hero member, things are changed. I don't know if the standard of merits earning is high for hero members. I think sometimes how I will manage to become a legendary member one day when I don't even have a close rapport with a single merit source.
The last time I saw a good post from franky1, I complained that I don't even have even 1 smerit to give him. I spoke out, and philipma gave him merit for the post.

I think your question has been answered by churchillvv which he earlier stated that you can report good unmerited post to the link he provided. Or better still when you find a post worthy of meriting but yet you don't have sendible you can wait till whenever you may have earned merit then you can use your sensible to merit such post. Just as simple as that.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I guess this is a common sense issue. This doesn't need a solution because this isn't a problem to begin with. If you don't have merits to give, then you can't give any. You can't do anything about it. Why would you worry?

If you've read certain posts that you think are deserving of merits, then let those who have also read them, or will read them in the future, who have available merits to give decide whether they're worthy of their merits or not. If not, then so be it. Whether a post deserves a merit or not is subjective.

I don't see a problem either. Sometimes people have heard so much about the merits that are used on this forum that they mistakenly think that they should "like" everything they like, as is customary in social networks. Sometimes a full answer, avoiding a short "thank you," is enough for a person to feel the usefulness of their post and advice. But unfortunately, here on the forum, some are so mercantile and will not be happy with ordinary gratitude, expecting only merits.

Exactly, we have a lot of merit sources so that way if you notice any post that deserves merit but you are out of merit you can just save the post somewhere or bookmark it so you can easily find it you have some smerit to spend. Meriting a post is something that can be done at later time if you really want to appreciate the person’s effort but you are out smerit, you can always come back later to merit it as you can. Or just as Hyphen(-) mentioned, you can also submit unmerited good posts to merit sources and if they find it worthy of being merited then the post will be merited but you must understand that some posts you find merit worthy might not really impress others so if the merit source is not impressed then he/she will not merit the post. Most of those threads that request for unmerited quality post are not really functional anymore.

Giving merits to useful posts is a way of encouraging people on the forum to keep up their good work so if you must merit a post you can always come back later when you have smerit to appreciate the users efforts and encourage them more.

You are definitely right,when the Merits are not yet there for you,it should be your motivating factor to make more quality posts so that you can also give merits to those who make quality contributions to your posts, just like the way other person's are giving merits to people who deserve it.
Merits are not yet at your disposal,so just forget about it,and keep on making good posts the way you are doing,with time, Merits will be available for you to give to whom you think deserves it.

Several months ago I stumbled upon a post that's worth meriting, but because of a lack of merits, I just bookmarked the post and just came back to merit it after I got merits to merit the said post. You can also praise or compliment the post; its a subtle way to recommend other members to merit the post.
If the post is really that good, you will not be the only one who will notice and merit it
