Good day everyone I'm new to this forum and I really don't know much about how things arr done here
I'm clear about most of the things but there's just one thing I don't seem to understand
How do I get merits what are the criteria I need in other to increase or gets merits on this forum
Because from what I've read so far you need merits in other to rank up so please I need your advice on this
Don't worry about merits, focus on contributing to the forum, or have decent comment or reply to the topics share information, and make informative post, just don't expect that it will be automatic, it will come.
This is the best answer I have read so far. It is not important to work hard only to get merit as much as it is important to stay active and use the forum in the normal way, that is, enrich your knowledge by reading topics and for others to benefit from your knowledge and skills by participating in discussions. Merit points will come without a doubt.
I am speaking from personal experience, as although I am an old permanent member and have many posts that have earned and still deserve merit points, once I stop being active for a few months, I stop receiving merit points. After I returned to activity here on the forum two days ago, I was surprised yesterday that one of my posts got three merits, although I was not really expecting that.
Yes, it is the constant activity and useful participation that guarantees getting merit, and that is why upgrading accounts is not based only on merit points, but more importantly on activity as well.
