I can recall myself being happy earning a karma and awards from Reddit just from a single comment, but I never made a post about it.
Considering OP's post history are mostly about merits, s/he is really valuing it that much for obvious reasons. I linked the thread where s/he could show off his ranking up which no doubt s/he would do if s/he reaches Jr or even Member rank.
Making too much noise about merits just speaks out the reason on the OP's intention here in the forum.
