Cool idea! That gives me the power to turn you back into a Newbie 3-5 times Tongue

I hope you see where this is going to fail Tongue

Can you imagine the complains to demerit sources? Tongue

It brings me to another thought though: what if all users without airdropped Merit get a different username color? Let's say green instead of blue. That makes it a lot easier to differentiate between airdropped and earned Merit.

I wouldn't want to be the ~~black~~ green sheep if I had airdropped merits. It's confusing and doesn't provide any important insights anyways. If you want to check if a user has airdropped merits, you can just check bpip. If that's not enough, then we can perhaps introduce a "merit airdropped" field in profile page.

The entire issue is a non-issue. Nobody has ever had a problem with distinguishing airdropped merit users, and even they have had, it is a harmless statistic anyway.
