It is extremely hard to gain merits

[LFC_Bitcoin]

It's still much easier to rank from newbie to jr member compared to other ranks, the difference gets huge with every rank progress.

You become more respected & integrate into the community as you increase your rank though which may help you to gain Merit. Rightly or wrongly, you’re more likely to gain Merit for a good but not great post if people know you & what you’re about.

Being on here for a couple of years will also enable you to know what topics to post about & which areas of the forum you’re more likely to receive Merit.

There’s no science to it, just try to be a helpful member of the community & make good posts. You’ll climb up the ladder of ranks in no time

There is quite reasonable information above.

 I would add that you need to realised adopting certain political views with regards the board and the developing systems of control will indeed influence how much merit you will attract. Do not assume objective debate with an aim to find the optimal answer/solution debate is always a good idea (if merit is the goal).

Certainly never waste time posting on the alt boards to attract merit.
