I found the new ranking requirement is not logic.

It might be difficult for low-ranked members to rank up now, but I wouldn't say the system isn't "logical". It is what it is, and it's supposed to be harder for people to rank up now--that's the whole point. You need patience and need to write good posts, AND write them in sections where they're going to be read, not mega spam threads where nobody ever earns any merits.

Hey.. you made a pretty decent post, here, but the content seems to be whining about stupid shit

Yeah, except for the whining part it wasn't too bad. Not going to give a merit for it, though.

If the seller is a merit source, they should be stripped from being a merit source and theymos should reverse merit transactions at his discretion. If it is a regular user selling merit, theymos might reverse any merit transactions at his discretion. (Not quite sure if he will or not.) Furthermore, theymos has made it clear that dt giving red trust to merit sellers is acceptable.

I don't think Theymos has reversed any merit grants yet, at least none that I know of. It's also very hard to prove that merit was sold, even if you find a ring of circle-jerking merit givers. We all know that there are spam farms that exists and that merit gets passed between friends & family--that shouldn't be happening IMO, but it's hard to prove there was an actual sale unless you have screenshots of conversations or something similar.
