The latest that got me going was one related to rank scaling and merit.
This has been on my TODO for a long time. I'm especially interested in a list of users who ranked up with merit, and a list of users who need activity only to rank up.
Did you exclude accounts which are Legendary already? Otherwise I count a total of 13807 users that received sMerit.
I thought a Hero member wouldn't be demoted after deleting posts, but apparently it does.
It could be bought accounts: merit is now more valuable than activity, and it cleans up past spam.
Note: sorry about tabulation, can't seem to master it properly on this forum...
Where's
nullius in your list? He did rank up already, but has enough merit to rank up twice more once he has enough activity.
I'm surprised
only a few higher ranking accounts have earned enough merit in 12 weeks to rank up. At this rate, new Legendary accounts will become very rare in a few months.
So the merit system is really working on stopping non-deserving users to rank-up, but also is showing how it can be corrupted by so many users.
The number of cheaters is currently relatively high, but that will end once they run out of sMerit to sell/trade/give to alts.
