OP, I believe that after 4 pages of this thread you should already understand how to get merit in this forum
Of course, this is a common question on this forum and has been answered a hundred times already, but obviously we can expect the same questions to continue to be asked, and there is no help for that.
I suggest you forget about the merits and focus on what you personally can give to this forum, and only then start asking the question what the community on this forum can give you in return.
When you accept this advice, you will see how easy it really is to get merits on this forum
