There is definelty something weird about your account.  You should have ranked up to “member” at 60 activity, which you would have reached several weeks ago, prior to merit.

Can anyone explain how he got to 132 without at least being a “member?”

EDIT.  I see now.  His account was registered several months ago,  but didn’t have many posts at first, then over 100 of his posts have been made since Jan 24th, when merit took effect.

Sorry, but your account is following the correct rank-up math, you didn’t get to 60 posts in before the merit rule.  You’ll have concentrate on making really good posts/responses, and hope someone notices and sends you some merit.
