Dear all,
I know, this is yet another thread about merit, but I’ve been really asking myself if I am doing anything wrong, which is why I had to write this post.
I’ve been quite active on this forum for some time and have struggled to rank up since the new merit system was introduced.
When merit was introduced, I read many threads in which people said that the system would be beneficial for those who would write quality threads and display a decent command of English. I would argue that my posts generally meet these criteria. Of course I sometimes also write short posts (like everyone else on here), but I have also created some quality and helpful content, which sometimes took me up to an hour to write and research. The result is zero to hardly any merit. I sometimes have the feeling that there is simply too much content on this forum in order to get noticed by people who would be able to give you merit or people who could give you merit simply can’t appreciate the content due to their own lack of language skills. While quality seems to remain unnoticed, there are tons of shitposts that receive merit for reasons that are beyond my imagination.
I was therefore wondering if I am doing anything wrong. Is there anything else I can do beyond putting time in my threads and trying to use correct language to get merit?
I would appreciate if you had any advice for me.
I understand your views about the merit system... We can't deny this fact that it is very hard to earn merit... While other are working hardly to get it still they are not given a chance... While those person who are not worth enough to have it are given a chance to earn merits... It is quite unfair... But it is the rules, we should follow it and obey it... Though there are a lots of person who complain about it become useless... Just do the right thing and someday you will have it... After all Merit system is created to lessen spammer... This goal is good if it is for the sake of us why not... You dont need to be disappointed about it because the reason only is, it very difficult to rank up... We need to do our best in order for them to get satisfied about our post.... Its okay atleast we are earning experience here and it is much better than having a lots of merits especially if you know that you are not worth it enough to have it... Experience is better than merit...
