I did not even get a comment on my post, and it got moved to the token section even though evernode only is utilizing the underlying network for the currency.
Since I am not a moderator, only they can answer why such move was made but as per the merit system... It might seem unfair sometimes but that is how it works. If someone thinks you have made a significant contribution (i.e a post) here in the forum then they will give you a merit. However it is not always that all your very well thought of posts would be given a merit.
It's important to consider that not everyone has a merit to spare so people really choose who they will give merits to carefully.
In one week or so, people will consider me more and more merit worthy
That's the spirit. Just keep interacting in here and sooner or later, someone is going to give you a merit.
