Well... to be fair - there's more than one crypto forum out and about - ok, so sig bounty peeps might wish to try to maintain their rank progression to keep up their incomes, but if you are at the mercy of the few who have sMerit to deem you worthy, then you're already playing a centralized game that is stacked against you.

I agree with the train of thought that the spam posting and obvious ignorance of forum posting rules is annoying and needed dealt with. But this won't fix that. Those posts will remain, along with a lot of new spam posts asking why no rank-up?? How do I rank and get merit?

But meh, I always tried to follow the rules, and now the goal posts have changed. That's life. Its not really worth losing your head over. In fact, if this is the worse thing to have happened to you lately... count urself lucky lol.
