- what if merit--all merit--slowly deteriorates over time? This could help solve some issues--for example, members who got grandfathered into the merit system with a high rank, but do not post anything worth meriting. Over time, their rank would deteriorate unless they step up their game.
Merit should not deteriorate. If I make a good post, what makes that post less valuable over time?
Merit received for good posts decline naturally should not. But to reduce Merit obtained at startup Merit-system - on that you may want to think.
There are accounts of high ranks which filled activity in bounty companies (links to twitter and facebook) and since the launch of the Merit system did not write any good post and did not receive any Merit.
I understand that this proposal is unlikely to support users of high ranks )))
