You seem to think it's a bad thing spammers can't rank up. It's not, it's exactly what the merit system was designed for.
So no.

Aside from having a merit system, if one does not have enough merits to rank up but has been active in the forum for a certain period of time, then that someone will be permitted to rank up.
I don't support this at all. What we now have is a sort of meritocracy, and you want to change it back to a welfare-state-ocracy, which has already been tried. When all it takes is time and activity to rank up, you get the results that you see--spam, shitposting, and account farming. Been there, done that.If you've been here a year and haven't earned enough merits to rank up to Member, Full Member, whatever, then there's something wrong with YOU, not the system. Making it easier for idiots to rank up isn't helping the forum; it's hurting it. Very few senior members really care if it's a major inconvenience to noobs who can't rank up. We're tired of spammers writing unintelligible garbage and collecting a paycheck for it. The rank up period for such people should be infinity.

So you are suggesting that we must return the past ranking system and you just adjust the ranking time and at the same time. It will remove the true meaning of merit system.
I disagree with this. This will benefit also those users who are posting only social media reports and they are ones who contribue spam in this forum. Aside from them, those one liner spammers and the "Good Project" posters will benefit from this proposal which is not good for me.
Anyway, lets wait for higher ranks to give their opinion regarding your "proposal".

This is a proposal to for the current ranking-up system. This will work hand in hand with the current Merit System.
BACKGROUND
Aside from having a merit system, if one does not have enough merits to rank up but has been active in the forum for a certain period of time, then that someone will be permitted to rank up. The amount of time needed to be active is shown on the table above.
Here are the list of the limitations/conditions to rank-up using this system:
BACKGROUND
| RANK | | | ACTIVITY | | | MERIT | | | ESTIMATED TIME TO RANK UP | | | PROPOSED DEFAULT RANK UP | | | |
| Newbie | | | 0 | | | 0 | | | 0 | | | N/A | ||
| Jr. Member | | | 30 | | | 0 | | | 6 Weeks (1.5 months) | | | N/A | ||
| Member | | | 60 | | | 10 | | | 10 Weeks (2.5 months) | | | 50 Weeks (12.5 months) | ||
| Full Member | | | 120 | | | 100 | | | 18 Weeks (4.5 months) | | | 90 Weeks (22.5 months) | ||
| Sr. Member | | | 240 | | | 250 | | | 35 Weeks (8.25 months) | | | 175 Weeks (43.75 months) | ||
| Hero Member | | | 480 | | | 500 | | | 69 Weeks (17.25 months) | | | 345 Weeks (86.25 months) | ||
| Legendary | | | 775 | | | 1000 | | | 111 Weeks (27.75 months) | | | 555 Weeks (138.75 months) |
Aside from having a merit system, if one does not have enough merits to rank up but has been active in the forum for a certain period of time, then that someone will be permitted to rank up. The amount of time needed to be active is shown on the table above.
Here are the list of the limitations/conditions to rank-up using this system:
- The user must be active for the whole "default ranking up duration". Being active means having a minimum of five (5) posts per month.
- The user that ranked up because of "default ranking up system" will not be granted a merit.
Example: You are a Member Rank having 25 merits and after being active for 50 weeks (the "default ranking up duration" for Member Rank), you get promoted to become a Full Member. Your Merit will still be equal to 25 in spite of being promoted to Full Member.
