jqprez, first of all, you need to improve your English. It`s very difficult to read and understand what you meant. Secondly, if you want to suggest any changes, then you should pay attention to their feasibility. What you say is not possible to implement.
1)No good because It' s not equal for all. Who is " Legendary" or " Superman" or " Full Member" have this rank 'cause the old rules. Let's start all from newbie, this is equal for all.
Equality doesn`t exist in nature. It's time to admit it. People are initially in different conditions and they have different abilities. To equalize everyone means to stop the development. Even if artificially put all the forum participants in an "equal" position, this situation won`t last long. Conversant members who write quality posts will break out ahead of spammers and shitposters, no matter how the rank system changes. In addition, a large number of participants have increased their rank under the "new rules", which proves the viability of the merit system.
2) All must vote for increase the rank but of the same category. ( newbie vote newbie etc)
It`s impossible to implement this. This assumption cannot be technically provided. And even if it were possible, I don`t see the point. Such a system would stimulate the growth of corruption on the forum. Yes, the merit-system isn`t perfect, but it has proven its efficiency. Over time, its shortcomings will be corrected, and its advantages will increase.
You criticize the system only from your side, as you`re at the lowest level for now. It`s impossible to return all the heroes and legendary to one position with you, since it`s unfair to them. Even if it was conceivable, they`d soon return to their high status, cause they deserved it by efforts, and not only because they registered earlier than you.
