With the introduction of the new merit points system in addition to activity, leveling up is now impossible to predict. I still like your spreadsheet and I'm keeping it in my bookmarks, but man... what a bummer.

For those who missed the news: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

What do you guys think about merits?

I think this is one solution to all the spam here. It's easy to reach 10 Merit points if you post quality posts. From 10 to 100 is a bit more difficult for Full member. We are still in the beginning of the new system, hope that with time the system will be adjusted. Lets see what happens from now on.

I am posting consistently with quality replies (not just "hi" or "this site is great" or "I agree"). I am accruing many posts (over 180) but my merit remains pinned at "10" or at a newbie to jr member level. Quite the discrepancy between the amount I am posting, my activity and the merit value.

Not understanding the merit system at all.

I guess all I can do is continue to post (because the topics interest me) and let the "merit" and "activity" take care of itself (HOPEFULLY) over time.
