I just saw the Merit system and it is new to me and I read some post about the new merit system and I am asking if it is true that it is hard for a newbie to reach a higher rank because of the newly added system on this forum.
I was intrigued by the claim of this
Newbie. How could you possibly and instantly be familiar about the new system, when at the start which is from your rank, merit buttons are not visible on the upper-right-hand side which is on the threads and Merit status from the profile. It will only be visible if you've already received at least 1 Merit (not 0.5, because that doesn't count). Which by the way you don't have.
Well, if for some reason, on the first section you've been, you already seen the Merit System you could dodge the bullet. But with 4 posts in total, you're cooking something.
Just like he said:
Assuming you're not an account farmer's alt account (which I think you are), if you're starting out here concerned with ranking up, you're here for all the wrong reasons.
