Well it not a wrong thing hoping for merit infact getting merit is a good thing so far it's earned not bought or gifted. I have gone through several thread about this merit issue mostly from noobs like me either whining about the system being unfair or seeking ways in getting or understanding it the most laughable is thread straight are thread started by a newbie or someone without merit giving advice on how to get one.
Honestly speaking we don't need all that alot has already been said on the topic some of which the moderators has rightfully pinned.
Here is a good one I saw today..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4517393.0But never feel that anyone owes you merit. Once you have read most article about the merit system, ranking system and how to earn it then that is that absorb it in your mind let it be inside of you. You don't necessarily have to post on daily basis about it. We are already aware and surrounded by post and thread about it.
We all are different individuals and have different reasons for being on this forum but what ever our aim is here let works towards it and keeping the standard conditions of the forum at heart. We all came to meet it so it's unfair if we contribute to bastardizing it.
PS.. Stop spamming
