I disagree, I got 10 sMerit points already which are needed for a Newbie/Jr. Member to become a Member am I one of this 0.1%. If you contribute to the community sure you can rank up. Well, I need 80 more points for a Full Member, but I like helping people and I think they will appreciate what I do. I was a newbie just 3 months ago, and here I am, learning and enjoying my time here.
Don't blame the system, blame yourself. And do respect Satoshi and the early adopters, because of them we have more freedom.
Just an update to the non-believers in the merit system. From 27 Jan til today, 13 Feb I got 51 Merit points and I'm just one average user here.So tell me again that it is not possible to rank-up. I still have 14 days to reach the needed activity points for Full Member and the missing 39 merits but I think it won't be a problem at all. I'll be very proud to rank-up because I have earn it this time. Now there is a new meaning in the ranking-up process, everyone could spam in the off topic section and rank-up with just activity, now game has changed and the feeling is great. Goodbye shitposters.
