I thought about this some more, and I made another change: it's now "you need 4 different people to send you merit for posts you made in the last 4 years". Otherwise there may have been too much incentive for people to go back and merit old posts of inactive people who have trust lists they agree with, which would be a ridiculous outcome.

This doesn't change the outcome very much: as of now, the eligible-to-be-voters number drops from 4118 to 3939.
