Re: Why do these accounts have the right to wear a clickable signature on the forum?
Some would argue that there are tons of merit worthy posts made before the merit system which did not get any, cause it was not a thing.
Members went back to merit popular posts and members, but many more replies in random threads went without notice.

You're right, but somebody coming back can pretty easily ask around for his post get reviewed and (some) merited if it's the case.
I don't know if there are so many users coming back after 5 years (again, without being hacked or sold).
I have the feeling we try to fix a problem we don't have instead of fixing one we have.
I would go further. I think the solution lies in removing airdropped merit from everyone. They have had enough time to earn merit.
That's what I tried to say, but maybe my choice of words was not the best.
The difference is that I proposed to diminish that slowly, since then:
* users getting some smaller amount of merit will not be demoted instantly and get one more chance
* on the other hand users who didn't get any merit for so long will be demoted, starting to solve this problem
But yeah, any of the two will do
