theymos can set the system whereby if you gained 70 to 80 merits the system should automatically credit you 20 to 30 merits instantly without having to apply for merits counts down
That's like lowering the Merit requirement for Full Member to 70 instead of 100 Merit. And the "count down" as you call it would simply start earlier: "I have 60 Merits now, I only need 10 more to reach my free bump from 70 to 100". Let's not do this.
Yes you are correct but they must earned the 80 merits required on their own before system should be able to credit them though there may be a compromise but the best is to factor the possible way to handle it if this idea isn't good, I am fine, pretty cool with (you) everyone's suggestion and contributions. Although I don't find anything attached to this but if this can't help the system then we can let it be the way its. Is just an idea to see what to do.
Well sincerely speaking I don't know how you rate your quality post but if you feels like dumping them on profile it takes only few minute to dump such huge volume by clicking my
profile to see post that worth it, I believe there are other several members who are coming across my profile doesn't feels like giving merits maybe till I report to them which is not cool although I know people are very busy with they are doing both physical and online here.
This comes to mind:
undoubtedly some people got screwed by this, and if they have decent posts, by all means, give them the 250 or 500 merit that they need to rank-up.
I have never seen this happening in this forum and I never came across someone dumping such amount to a user at a go. Seems this aspect of theymos post is dead and eliminate from here. However seeing this quote theymos made me feels like everything is fine then we can say that circulation is low since he already brought up this suggestion.
You are very sensitive, OP. The forum is not a kindergarten. If a person cannot, then it is he who needs to try harder and not pat him on the head and wipe his snot.

I know your reasons for wanting to help everyone who wants to rise in rank, and I am not at all against it, understanding how important it is for some countries to participate in signature companies. But please, let's not confuse different concepts,
ranks, and knowledge. This is where I think there will be equality.
Thank you for the clarification I holds nothing on anyone's contribution and I appreciate everything they have all said.
People should be able to gain knowledge and at the curse of learning merits can flow to their respective profile if they are doing what is right.
