After around 2 years got no earned merits, finally I earned the first one on December 01, 2019. It became a new stage for my account improvement. Since that day, I can gain several merits in the following days. Thanks to Mr. abhiseshakana as the first merit sender for me. Well, December 2019 is really my lucky month. I never imagined that I can earn 45 Merits during that month.
Today, I have earned 250+ Merits and I am already a Senior Member. Thank you so much for Mr. dbshck as the biggest contributor to my achievement so far. Also to others that always support and appreciate my efforts. I'm lucky to have you all.
From this short story, I want to tell newbies and Junior that getting merits is not impossible. I don't know anyone, but apparently I can still collect merits. This means as long as you want to try serious efforts, people will appreciate your works. Of course, not just any trying, but there are some things that we must be fulfilled. I realize several things.
Thread/topic- Create a useful/helpful thread or topic.
- Its content should be informative, easy to understand, and clearly enough
- The sentences have a correct grammatical function and written in proper punctuation.
- The paragraphs are made in the right order, from opening to closing.
- The topic is delivered in a simple or straightforward manner. Don't make it complicated.
- Unique. It mustn't a copy-paste/plagiarism work.
Reply- It should be on topic.
- The sentences have a correct grammatical function and written in proper punctuation.
- The idea/opinion must be reasonable, unique, and factual.
- The idea/opinion has value or something informative.
- It must be better presenting data or enclosing information sources.
Besides making threads or replies, we can do other things: - Help others. When people asking about information related to forum, exchanges, wallet, or etc
- Report spammers, merit abusers, or bounty cheaters

The list above is created based on my own opinion. If you have others, you can add it to your lists. Back to the progress of my account, I really hope it can reach the Full member at the beginning this year. So, I'm trying my best to make more good posts. I am sure sooner or later my account will move on to the next level. And I will still do efforts to go to higher levels. I trust I can, and nothing is impossible to reach.
Finally, I want to invite all newbies/Juniors to stop complaining about the merit system and better start trying to improve your post quality. As many people have proven it, I believe we can do it as well. The point is keeping the best efforts, both making good posts and help others. Good luck for us!!
