I agree it can be hard to earn Merit, but if you post good quality (not only one post, the whole posting history is important) you can get a nice bunch of them. It's a mixture of good content, help and creativity.
And yes, your posts have to be noticed by people giving merit. If you post in a spam megathread your quality post will be covered immediatedly.
Finally this is not unfair I received the merit for, it's a big problem in the German section because we have no subforums for ANNs and Bounties. The result is all the ANNs are bumped all the time covering important topics. And if there are every time translation cheaters bumping their ANNs too, it's very annoying. In addition ANN-cheating is against the rules.
Topic: Merit abuse. 50+12 merits received within 1 day and 1 minute. - page 4. (Read 1402 times)
Do you understand the german posts there? If not:
33 Merits were given for the entry post about how to find translation-cheaters using Google Translate or similar. In addition I've launched a transparent reporting system everyone can report to. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ubersetzungs-spam-gefunden-hier-konnt-ihr-ihn-berichten-4415262
The post 17 Merits were given is about a list I want to update if someone reports new posts. Having a look at the list everyone can recognize the translation-cheaters and report new Google-Translate-ANNs faster for issues in the future. There are some candidates having accumulated 16 fake ANNs (or bounties). https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.39796150

Let us wait for Default trust members. Only they can decide, if that was the merit abuse or not. A lot of people are trying to post something valuable, to get some merits and believe me, for a newbie and even a junior, it can take months if not years, to achieve just a full member status. And you suddenly are getting almost 70 merits for some posts in 2 page topic about translation spam? That is completely unfair and that's why I reported you (I never reported anyone before that) Anyway that was nothing personal and I wish you a good luck. Cheers.

OP, please have a look again, who gave me the Merits and for which posts! There is no merit abuse or are you jealous?
I think it's a hard accusation to say the German Mod or qwk (a legendary registered in 2011) are Merit abusers.
And regarding yourself: do we have tagged a google-translate spam of you? Fine! This is how the topic should work!

Nobody cares who they are an when are they registered. All of us are following forum rules here. You received 33 and 17 merits in one day (June 10) for a just a regular topic. There was nothing special in that post. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.39318850 And on June 14 you received 12 merits in the same topic within ONE MINUTE 10.42; 10.42; 10.43; 10.43; 10.43 https://imgur.com/a/k6B1cXW That actions are clear merit abuse and you must be red tagged for that. P.S I never participated in any translation company.
It's very strange: today a russian guy entered the translation thread complaining about his shady translate ANN was deleted. His complaints are written in worst german translated with a translation tool. There is nothing wrong to report ANN translated by Google Translate or similar to the Mod. We make a list of abusers and so everyone gets to know them. This will be more easy to find them faster.
I don't know if you are an alt of Curare (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/curare-2159516) or why are you so interested in the German section? Have some translate-spam there?!

On June 10 User 1miau https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/1miau-2143453 received 50 merits (33+17) from a mod of a German board phantastisch https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/phantastisch-18312 for a topic called Übersetzungs-Spam gefunden? Hier könnt ihr ihn berichten (Translation = Found a translation spam ? Here you can report it.) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.39318850 Also he received 12 merits within 1 minute on June 14 for the same topic from the user qwk https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/qwk-24140. I think this is a record for merits giveaway from two profiles to a single profile in that short period of time for a REGULAR TOPIC. This people are either fiends or 1miau is just their alt account, that is pushed to Full Member status via merit abuse. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=2143453
