I've noticed that i now all of a sudden have a "Merit" score of 500. What is this going to be for?
Does this have anything to do with the new proposals to combat spam?
i don't think there's a thread explaining it yet. not sure if it's fully implemented either. it seems like our current merit rankings correspond with our activity rankings (legendary, hero, and so on).
this is the only explanation i've seen:
A couple of ideas that have been floating around in my head:
1. To attain ranks above Member, you'd have to earn some number of merit points. Merit points would be awarded in a monthly vote on best posts of the previous month, with various measures (TBD) to prevent gaming of the vote. Winning merit points might also come with a BTC prize.
