Should be but it is not. It could be called this aptitude test if all posters got reset to lower ranks and had to earn merit to advance. Since higher ranks got a lot of merit for nothing, same as old, abandoned accounts, that were later traded and used as merit donors, the system is not perfect.

Yeah...right.
Funny fact when talking about received merit, Gavin has received only 14 merits, about one 1/5 of how much you've got, and 1/10 of mine.....he should go back to jr member, right?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I was talking about the potential merit required for the rank, not the merit they got from other users. If you made your account a couple months months before the introduction of merit you became a full member with over 100 free merit that you would otherwise have to work for. Someone doing the same thing after merit was added would have to put much more effort into getting ranked up and wait much longer. Again, we're talking about equality here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying merit isn't needed. It serves a purpose, but the distribution wasn't equal.
