Good advice, but the problem is it seems there are too many people on the forums for the merit system to be justly and efficiently functioning imo.

Too bad I got deranked to newbie again because I never received a single merit (sure half of my msgs are bounties but the other half are not), so now I cant even "change" my signature lol

Feels like being back to school again and I'm sent to detention.

You can still get yourself a copper membership for 0.00208333 btc, with this you can set a Member rank signature (which is even 1 rank higher then you had before as a jr. Member). I posted a link to the copper membership page a view posts above this one,but here it is again:

I have done this myself, its a couple of minutes work.
