I believe you remember
this post
I'll
do what I did last time:
I can't read them, and I don't want to spend that much time on Google Translate to Merit those posts. But I get what you're doing, so allow me to go "full Merit source" on the post above. I'll leave it up to you to Merit posts on your local board topic.
And this (
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6):
But 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.
