I will now consider posts that were written up until 31 January 2019.
3. Your posts had to be written before 31/01/2019. Any posts after this date will not be considered.

Let me guess, @Pmalek.
You changed rule on the published day of posts to consider applying posts to reduce risks of sending your sMerits to wrong candidates.
By saying wrong candidates, I meant those ones who made pseudo constructive posts recently, then applied to try stealing your sMerits away.
Looking at their past posts (months ago) is one of best approach to screen all pseudo-constructive candidates in your challenge.

Recent weeks, @LoyceV and someone else found that there are dramatical amount of Newbies and Junior Members received sMerits got banned later.
Most of them due to plagiarism violations.
There: How many banned users have you merited?

In summary, I totally support your latest rule changes.
