Mate!!! I can see the reason why you are not yet a hero member talks of legendary. You'r not here to learn because you have known (well educated) and you don't want to educate people what you known from outside before coming to the forum. I believe there are two things every user does in the forum to earn merit to rank up. You learn what you don't know by probably asking of questions and also You educate users or people what you have learn. But like this I don't think you can climb up.
I came to this forum December last year and this Charles-Tim has educated and contributed a lot to my threads (questions and others) but you claim to be a old user, but I have not see you in any of my threads (post). What I am saying, you are not a serious user but here to accuse legendary member that why they are there and you are not there while you came before most of them remember a popular saying that "over taking is allowed", if you are not serious then those who are serious would over take you.

Please Charles-Tim is not a merit farmer go and check his post. He has won bonuses from his quality posts from the campaign he is. And he deserves to be a legendary member. Be a good post then you will see yourself soaring like an eagle. I have seen a member rank user that had 260 merits. Also look at this user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412983.0
Please remove blame game and be serious
