For newbie's and jr member who wants to have some merits and send to us.
It's not that you need high quality posts to have merits, you need to interact as well. Problems with your posts:
1. Just like what i've said above. Try to interact with other members. You're posts are just replying to the post which is i highly think that have been said before again and again(which you probably didn't see, since reading all those is a waste of time) therefore spamming the thread.
Remember: No one has the time to read all those replies, make sure yours stand out.
2. Topics you are replying to isn't really much help to this forum. Interesting topics would lure(positive way) merit sources that may send you sMerits, provided that you've made a quality post.
Hope this advise would help you understand your current position. And for others to reflect on what they post as well.
