Greetings everyone!
I really want to know if merit is necessary in other to secure my account, my friend who introduced this site to me said, I must have merit
Please how do I get this merit and how is it important.
When your friend introduced you to this forum, what was your purpose and what did he tell you is the forum all about? This is very important to know whether you need merit here or not.
As a newbie, merit is just a way of your contribution to post, you get rewarded or typically when someone like your post, they give you merit for that and the more merit you get with more activity, the more you rank up from Newbie, to Member, Full Member, Senior Member, Hero Member and then Legendary which is the last rank here with merit requirements of +-1000 merits.
The forum has a market place where trading is going on, if you want to engage in trading here it's not merit that you need but a reputation, you can see that your trust score is 0/0/0, if you get a green
+1, it shows that you are been trusted with a positive feedback and more people will trade with you and if you been distrusted with negative feedback
-1 and with that on your account, people will avoid having trade with you.
So, you choose why you are here and stick with it to the end, if you have both merit and positive feedback, it increases your reputation in the Forum and more people will want to deal anything with you as long as you have it.
