Hey!

I think it's a good idea. But as there is merit, it must be Demerit as well. to simply make the difference between profiles, for avoiding spam
we would also like to have on the right of the page the option for merit and demerit without being forced to open another window (as was the case with -0 + 0)

And also want to know where is the place of newbie in this forum ?? It will be hard for some to develop their Rank, expect if there is someone who has an excess of merit, And wants to share ...

Thank you

I have some similar thinking as you in this regard.

I will give you an example from my personal life, without being too personal. I was in the military, and I recall that they had a system that allowed you to go up in rank based on a number of criteria... at the lower ranks there was a certain degree of automation, but as the rank became higher, there was some combination of factors, including how well you were liked, your performance appraisals and some tests that you took. I recall that at a certain middle rank, I was promoted above and beyond my peers mostly based on my really high test scores and my meeting the basics in other criteria; however, I am pretty sure that the higher ranks did not like me or my getting promoted before several of my peers and would have never promoted me, if their assessment were to carry more weight.

So in that regard, I kind of agree that there may be some need for newbies to still be able to move up in rank without having to kiss any butts (yet I do not know exactly what the threshold should be, but it seems that there is some need for some automatic promotion for merely doing your time and posting and not getting banned.. hahahahaha.. that would be good).
