People who say they are leaving a forum never seem to go, they seem to hang on hoping that they will be noticed.

Those who actually leave just go, and they usually shut the door quietly.

I doubt he'll be going anywhere. He'll either just create a new account and learn from his mistakes or just abandon this one and fire up one of his half a dozen alts he's been farming.

And there is no chance in hell a newbie will make it that far

The question that always comes to mind when I read posts like the above from noobs: Why are you so concerned about newbies being inhibited from ranking up? First of all, it isn't true. We were all newbies at some point and every member you see with a rank higer than Jr. Member has ranked up. Second, rank is only important here because you can earn more money having a higher rank. Low-ranked members can still fully contribute and can learn everything there is to know about bitcoin.

Thus, members complaining about how they can't rank up get infinitesimally close to zero in the amount of sympathy they generate.

A truly quality poster would have no problem in rising through the ranks as we saw with nullius, but it's next to impossible for a shitposter to get anywhere past Member now. One merit is easy to get and most will manage that whether they beg, buy, trade or steal it, but they're not going to be able to achieve or afford to buy 100 merits to become a Full Member.
