I see that a lot of accounts on the forum have exactly 100 merit and the minimum requirements to be a Full Member.
Why is there so many?
It is a quite damn easy to be a Full member without merit system. Have 120 posts, 120 activity points and rank up at the forum check time.
History of bitcointalk.org's rank systemIf one Full member is posting a lot since 2018 but did not get a single merit, that member is a shitposter.
