Is this a bug ? This user has more than enough merits and activity to be a legendary member but his current rank is still hero member.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=558519

That user I linked above was just one of them I think there's more of them who have 1000 merits and 770+ activity who aren't legendary.

Required activity:

Legendary: random in the range 775-1030

This user has only 868 activity. He can become a Legendary in the next period or maybe only at the 1022 activity mark. He got 1000 merits by default because theymos thought it was not fair to only give 500 merits to Hero Members who were in the 775-1030 range and could become Legendary at any time.

It seems interesting

Was it a one time action, (to give the 500 additional merits to those who has reached the 775 activity these days), or it will continue? If it was a one time thing, I would really miss that 1 activity period that made me miss this chance... But that's life

It was a one time thing to accommodate those who had already reached enough activity points to become legendary at the implementation time of the merit system. You were a couple of activity periods away from the 775 activity limit at the time.

Thanks for the heads up, I've checked it, so the couple of activity periods needed were actually 2

I feel much better now, thanks Cheesy

Anyway, life goes on

On the other hand, I'm happy that this solution can help to reduce the amount of the spam on the forum, so I won't need to skip nearly every second newbie and Jr. post on a page to find quality answers...
