I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find any thread using the native forum search function.

Now, regarding the proposal:

In the last month I've investigated some accounts under the premise of them being bought and/or hacked accounts, and realized that most of the accounts follow some pattern. Most of them had been inactive for some time, had a password reset in 2017 and have very little earnt merit (if any).

Considering these parameters, I believe an airdropped merit reset for accounts that have earnt a total of zero (0) merits could benefit the community as a whole, as it would render most of these sold accounts useless. These accounts are mostly used for bounties or scams, so I think this is a reasonable request.

One may argue that it's an unfair meassure, but the same way some Hero accounts were made Legendary during the merit system introduction, there could be a case by case study upon request. Still, not having earnt a single merit in the couple of years the system has been in place.... kind of says a lot about the posting quality overall. I'd even go further and do a complete reset of all airdropped merits, but that'd get me in some muddy waters which I see no reason to dive in (yet).

Having said this, I'm waiting to hear some opinnions on the matter; this is a discussion forum after all, and see if this can be taken into consideration by the forum administration
