Politeness, Imagination, and Coins were calculated based on all of your past posts, but they don't update real-time. fMerit, Virtue, and Karma do update roughly every 20 minutes. But only Staff, Donators, or VIPs will find themselves able to adjust their Virtue that quickly.
OMG! What a terrible gift for April the first! I guess this topic will result in chaotic discussions in the next few weeks.
Honestly, I don't understand which requiremens users should meet to rank up with the new system after looking at the OP and all 15 pages (till now).
fmertis, virture, imagination, karma, coins, etc. Which specific roles of them in new ranking system? I can not find them in the OP (or I missed something, lol).
I strongly support merit system. Personally, merit system should be adjusted to better get spammers stucked forever at lower-ranks if they won't contribute to the forum; but should not be adjusted this way. Unbelievable!
At last we have a really well-designed rank system on BCT. Thank you, sir Theymos! God bless your soul.
Consequently, only few hours after launched, by now, more and more users added Sir, Mr. to their threads (might be due to their objective to rank up politeness-count). I strongly believe those ones are sort of non-sense words, and something like spamming.
Hopefully, it's just a joke of 1st of April.

This is April's First joke, just to be clear about it
