Partially agree to your statement. Recently wake up account for the sole purpose of joining bounty campaign should be reset merit. On the other hand, many inactive legendary and hero member gain there rank through there previous activity and contribution here in the forum and its very unfair to reset there rank just because they are inactive for a long time and didn't received any merit.

I have a friend with legendary account here that already inactive for a long time. He is the one who mentor me on Bitcoin and introduce me this forum. He contribute some knowledge and spend time here during he is active.
