I understand the area of the thread and it is good thread to encourage newbies. Op you don't have to worry. One thing I know in the forum is activity and since your activity has reached your next rank then you have to make some more quality post to have more merits rewards so you can rank up very fast. All your focus right now is for quality posts and not the opposite. You can make comments at all corners and make sure your comments are meritable.
Everyone will pass through this stage and all those users from full members and above has passed through this stage so yours is not the first. But I still encourage you to do well so you can get the desire merits to rank up and achieve you aims here.
Yes thank you so much as appreciating our little beginning always channel us into a good dimension to achieve greater things ahead. I will continue to make good and quality posts whether they are merited or not as sometimes our help doesn't really come from places we hope it's gonna come from.
You are trying and especially the way you reply your post to give a general overview towards a post show that you are gradually getting matured in the forum. I also like the fact that you have come to acknowledge the forum most people do not care about their total performance or how people sees them like me I do asked questions to people to give their overall view towards my post and activities and they rated me fine from then it gave me the vibes and energy to gear up than my previous performance.
Thanks for your word of encouragement as sometimes in this life we actually need people to show us way in then we can find our way out. Thanks you also for your candid contribution to the forum and the local board, your overall performance so far is indeed applaudable.
Op congratulation for this achievement, no reason am say na small thing wey you don achieve, only this one na evidence say you dey do enough reading and you be contributor for this forum, as I dey like sef I never reach reach 10 active days for this forum. Concerning the merit part, me I go say na God dey run am, because most times na our lower quality post them naim dey get merit pass some high quality, most times some quality post no dey even get 1 merit sef, no be say people no find am useful oo, na just because some times dem no get smerit to give at that time or dem no feel like to give at that time. Anyways the only advise I get na be say make you keep the good work up, and continue as a good contributor for this forum, one day you go reach where you wan go.
This one wey you talk like this sweet me well well say na God they run the awarding of merits to posts as sometimes some of our quality posts that deserves merits yet they don't get then the one we don't even spend much time and energy that's the ones that merit is awarded but however that shouldn't be a prerequisite that we shouldn't make good and quality posts be it that they are merited or not.
