When merit was implemented everyone automatically received Merit based on activity, so why is it now different?

Theymos obviously knows where the spamming problem comes from, which is why he made the change the way he did. It might not seem fair to those junior members who got busted back down to noob status, but all they have to do is earn one single merit to move back up in rank. I would also add that the only folks who really care about how unfair it seems are the ones concerned solely with how much advertising they can put in their signature space.

In any case, the change was already made. Making new threads bitching about it isn't going to somehow change Theymos's mind and might actually put you on people's ignore list. The whining started probably within the first hour after Jr. Members with no merit went back to Newbie, and it's time for it to stop.

Not sure what OP is complaining about anyway, since he earned 1 merit and has a copper membership. Makes me wonder how many alt accounts he's in control of.

i just saw a legendary member that has a 90% shitpost in their post history and the posts were incredibly worthless than what newbies post here
