- If 120 days passed and userB didn't earn at least 1 merit, userB rank drops to Hero memberwhile keeping his merit score intact and he will be required to earn 500 merits to become a legendary member again.
Huh?
I like the overall idea to reduce the shit posts. But, I was not too fond of the requirement to get the rank back again.
A few quality posters don't even wear signatures, and they are not active. They will be disappointed to see this. Think about yourself. Suppose You were too busy with your personal life and are a legendary member. You came back a year later and noticed you are now a Sr. Member. Wouldn't you be disappointed? Don't you think it's unfair to you? After all, You have to earn another 500+ Merits to regain your rank.
Instead, I would suggest a Legendary should earn another 50 Merits to regain his rank in the next 120 days. If he can gather those merits in 10 days, he should regain the rank immediately. If he is a shitposter, He wouldn't be able to earn more than 10 merits like some stake.com signature participants.
