Although, the required Merits to push through for a Full member rank might not have come from this thread or maybe directly, Ratimov, you did play a role earlier and even this thread might have given my user the exposure it needed.
Having that in mind, I'll like to say I am grateful and I am now a Full member. Cheers!
Congratulations Mr.right for your full member achievement. As you said rightly, even if your application is not been considered by Ratimov due to lack of smerits or other things, this topic will give your account the exposure needed to rank up. It is on this thread I saw your merit at 98, I had to send you 2 merits to give you the required full member rank.
The last time I applied here to become a full member, it was LoyceV that gave me the required 14 merits to become a full member. That shows me that merits sources have eyes on topics like this.
Rank: Full Member
Amount if merits: 230
Actually I'd really like to help you earn enough merit to meet the ranking requirements of becoming a Sr Member, but I don't think you should be in a hurry to get one due to the lack of activity points. While Ratimov can help you, it may take several months for you to reach the required amount of activity.
Thanks Falconer. But I don't think that applying for rank up here means I am in a hurry. The OP didn't specify that you must have a complete activity before you apply. I also read somewhere that such an argument came up, LoyceV said that it doesn't matter the number of merits earned by the user, what matters is if the user has merit worthy posts you can give him more merits.
