hey then why not make it fair to all of the members of BTT forum and implement a complementary system that reduce high rank members merits ( and if accumulated it will reduce rank ofc ) if they dont get new merit in a certain time . i mean they are heroes and full members it should be easy to get 1 merit since they have more experience in the forum
that will for sure expose those fake rank members that simply take from the forum with no giving back or contribution to make it better
And if someone decides to take a break from the forum?

Should we also go back and start re-meriting every post ever made so that old members get their "fair share" of merits? That idea was also brought up at some point. It's all quite meaningless though. The merit system has been designed to curb shitposting going forward. It's not going to give you some sort of retroactive social justice. Focus on your own merits. Start with punctuation.
