is there another solution to getting merit for a newbie besides making a good tread that can make someone give merit to a newbie. maybe from the account age, maybe at least 1 or 2 years to be able to get at least 1 merit. can the forum team consider. thank you. just my opinion
The only way to earn merit as a NEWBIE is to have some usefull stuff to say or to have some real good OT questions that show some serious interest, its a kind of task for people that send out merit to spot those newbies that are only interested to wear sig campaigns and just spam the place.
Have some stuff to say with good content, get in some discussions over the place, contribute where you can and you will be noticed and you will
earn merit, just realize its not something to gain easy and especially not as a newbie, the merit system is been introduced to get rid of some problems and solve some serious spammers that are only here with no right intentions...
