I feel this adrenaline rush when I'm merited. It's like I should flood the forum with posts, which can be quite cool to an extent but if care is not taken, it could cause me to start talking rubbish. but then, that's what excitement can cause, right? And the most fulfilling one is when you get merited by a prominent member of the forum, it makes me want to take my time and go through the post that was merited over and over again.
Well, I don't think getting meritted is difficult; it's just a matter of consistency and how educative and relevant your response is on the topic of discussion.
Well,I don't know if I can see this with you,whether getting merit is hard or not,but I think merit is a little bit hard to get in the forum,because it is what guarantees your forum rank,so if it wasn't hard to get,most persons who are newbies would have grown to be senior members by now.Getting merit really requires extra work,and an extra ordinary post that will be so captivating and will make one have no choice but to give out merit.If merit was given out easily,I don't think most persons would have bothered themselves making quality posts.
The very first time I got merited after posting for a long period of time,I was so excited,but at thesame time,I knew it wasn't easy,until the merits started coming.
