Well if you check from my activity you will notice that I'm new and my main purpose for opening the account was for bounty purposes but looking into the community, I'm trying to understand it the more, hence the reason for this thread cos I see many people with the merits and I don't feel its out of place for me wanting to know what its about
How do I get some merits? And what is the advantage of a bitcointalk community member being merited?
I would like to elaborate a bit more on the above answer, as I believe this topic deserves a bit more detailed answer:
As per the original post from Theymos the "Merit system was introduced to improve posts quality", based on this explanation you can get Merits by being there for other users, sharing you knowledge, helping others to answer their questions and by providing quality information. I would say you should stick with answering quetions on other user’s threads. Later on when you learn more you could share your knowledge by starting your threads and offering structured information for others.
Defitinely the biggest incentive to rank up in account level are bounties. Because the higher your membership level is, the better chance of you getting accepted for high quality bounties is. The reason being, that higher level accounts get more space in their signature (and more space for bounty promotion), but also have much higher prestige, when it comes to spreading word about project in question (via their signature).
Hope this helps and that I explained it clearly. Happy Merit hunting.
Yes, this piece is helpful.

Start by not talking about how to get merit.
The formula is very simple. Post comments that others find valuable or interesting...they may gift you some merit. That's it.
More importantly for the rest of us, why are you so concerned with earning merit?
Lol! First rule of merit: Don't talk about merit
But seriously, just be an active member, help others and try to make useful posts is the best way I guess.
Learn to read before posting, and learn to write English, so that you can treat the forum with respect - what is this word "wamma"?
Agree, if you can't read and understand well you can't make good posts so it will not be easy for you to increase your rank.
If you need merit you need to comment and post positive ,relevant things about the trend you are following. you can also profound solutions to questions been raise on the forum. by doing this genuine activities without spamming the forum you can earn merit by this simple act.
If you want to get Merit, then you should post articles that are healthy and helpful for most people. If you can't do something like this, then you can only get it through trading!

Merits are a rare commodity here on bct so earning them will take quite a bit of effort. And from my understanding new merits are not currently being generated so another member would have to give you theirs provided that they're impressed by your posts and contributions here.
There are different ranks you can obtain that go all the way up to Legendary. Higher ranks unlock additional features for your account including posting pictures, avatars, etc. but I suggest checking out the merit thread post by theymos where you can find additional details on the requirements for each rank. I included that link below for your convenience.

I haven't got it either, but i try to keep making good posts just don't be too fixated on merit, just keep making constructive and informative posts.The point is how we can contribute to the forum and merit will come by itself later.
The advantage you can go to higher rank of course, so the opportunity to join a good project is bigger.
You won't get merit because you begging for it or even making this thread.
You need a good quality content and people will give you merit without you asking for it.
