I have some inhibitions about the merit system since i'm still a beginner and at the same time i do appreciate and understand its purpose. Still i don't think that this works objectively since not all quality posts are given attention to compared if a specific parameter is targeted like average word count maybe.
Simply by don't asking these types of question and start writing quality posts.
If you are writing quality post you will definitely get the merit by any means.
There are many members who are always in search of good content. If they review your post and not giving you the merit point, This will be a lesson of learning. Keep learning. oneday you will write quality post because quality posts are eye catching.
Always learn from your failures in order to get success in life.
