Is it coincidence that the new regulations of the forum is made on April 1st? Nope.
Mr. Theymos made this new set of requirements not to fool the members of the forum but in order to solve the problem in bitcointalk.
But I would like to say that after a week there are lots of issues and protests that will be made in this thread again. Like what happened on the merit system. Well, it does not matter at all since Sir Theymos knows what is better in the forum!
It might be a difficult to go with the flow because I am alsi a newbie but I am here to learn and I am hoping that someday, I will reach the higher ranks.
Expect the unexpected! A lot of complains will flow in the forum and a lot of criticism, suggestions and praise will be made. For sure, this will become more difficult to us new members.
Merit is almost hard plus all of this stuff. Anyways, just be positive!
May I ask Sir Theymos, is it necessary to cope up those needed requirements to rank up? What is the attainable numbers of that stuff in order to rank up?
