Example 2:
UserB earned 1000 merit and attained the rank of a legendary member, to continue to keep that legendary rank, UserB must make sure to earn atleast 1 merit in every 120 days.
- 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.
- If in another 120 days, userB still does not earn at least 1 merit to maintain his now hero rank, he drops to Senior member rank, now, he will be required to earn 250 merits to become a hero member and another 500 merits to reclaim he's initial rank of legendary member.
I'm actually laughing and shaking my head as a sign of disapproval. There's no way that "crazy" idea of yours will be implemented. Let's say in an unlikely scenario that's approved and implemented, it won't be much of an issue for anyone who is truly active and posting on this forum won't be able to earn a single merit in every 120 days. At least, for the sake of keeping their ranks; I can bet that there are members who will go to any length to make sure they don't lose their ranks even if it means trading merit. Again, any implementation of such an idea will lead to exodus of members out of this forum.
