In all fairness, the outcome of this battle is far from meeting its expectations.
We're always open to suggestions to make this place better, but compromises need to be found.
Canceling the rank of Jr.Member, the lowest rank set to Member may be a better solution? After all, getting 10 merits is much harder than 1 merits. What do you think?
You don't need to cancel the rank. Just get rid of Junior signatures completely and only let them have a signature until the achieve Member rank with ten merit. Junior rank still has its place and I think the one merit requirement at least sets them apart from the worst or the worst of Newbies who can't even get that. Let's make them step it up before they're allowed to earn by posting here though and ten merit is a good aptitude test for that.
