Today the we got a new merit system for newbie’s, without one merit, newbie’s will never level up to Jr. Member. This system change will help getting more high quality post in the forum. So far so good.
But why was this merit system change only enforces on newbie’s, why didn’t all account on Bitcointalk, not lose one merit, if a Hero member who has been here for years still only have 500 merit, then he is most likely also doing low quality post, just like the merit less newbie’s, and he should be forces to make some quality post also, to earn one merit to keep his rank.
