"I urge all concerned forum participants to sign the petition! Since the new rules in obtaining ranks limit us and give privileges to old users, as the competition for them will be less!"

What's funny about this is if you're not actively trying to profit from the forum, then the new rules have absolutely zero impact on your ability to enjoy the forum, except for potentially increasing it.

For the first 4 years I was a member of the forum I never took part in a sig campaign, and technically still haven't. I just have my current one up for Bruno. In the meantime I got a full-time job as a cryptocurrency writer, largely thanks to all the things I learned from this forum. A couple of times I really tried hard to encourage Merit Complainers about the benefits of the forum as an educational tool, but everybody seems to only want the easy money, destined to spend their career here as a Jr. Member, or now possibly even Newbie.

As a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, this guy, on the other hand, just can't be put down!



To think, over 1100 posts (many of which are bounty reports), not 1 merit, doesn't flinch when he's demoted to noob.
