Well I get you when you said something about spamming and no useful info to be added but to me I see this post as something to motivate some users on how to drop a quality post, as you can see OP talked about merits and you have no idea how newbies are craving for it to grow their account to the next rank.
Why do you need merits?. Is it to rank up?, Why do you need to rank up yoir account?. The thread is indeed old but it doesn't need to get bumped without adding more information regarding the topic. If you are thinking how do I share the thread to ither newbies then the answer is simple which is to copy the link and send it to the person who you want to send it to. Isn't that simple enough?. I am sure they will find this thread if they will make a research.
