Are you asking theymos to create a rank for himself, alone?
Another thing, the point of the Merit system is to limit shitposting, if legendary members will compete to have this silly requirement then low rankers could whine moar!
Third, make a list of trusted members and the ones that give the information you need and follow them, legendary doesn't mean that he isn't a scammer nor a trustworthy person... A low rank guy could help the community by far comparing to half of the high ranked members...
