Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set
any signature or personal text.
Note that this does not affect:
- PM rate-limiting, which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
- "You must wait ___ seconds...", which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
But it does affect:
- Voting in polls
- Patroller jurisdiction
- The "ignore newbie PMs" option.
- "The body is omitted from this email because the sender is a newbie."
- BBCode limits
- Reduced-accuracy link filtering
- Board restrictions
Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a
copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership.
One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to
good newbies. I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future.
With help from DdmrDdmr, I just added 36 new merit sources, which should help newbies achieve the requirement. But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you.
one of the problems at the Bitcointalk Forum is that Member growth continues to grow at any time. There are many factors that influence Member growth, including death, birth and migration. To calculate the number of Members of a Sup-Forum, certain formulas are used, one of which involves the operation of numbers such as the merit system, 1 - 1000, which we know today. Do you know what numbers are? What are the characteristics of numbered numbers? I will specify a little discussion below, so we keep thinking positively and discard negative thoughts:
Numbers that have ranks of 1 to 1000, in mathematics consist of:
numbers with positive round ranks (natural numbers), negative round ranks, zero rank, newbie, rational rank and real rank. Rank notation is used to write down the results of a repeated number in a simpler form. As for example, we have three factors a which are the same, so that we can use the a3 symbol to denote (a x a x a), with 3 called the rank of a and declare the number of factors a repeated, can be written a3 = a x a x a.
The most frequently discussed rank numbers include positive numbers, negative numbers and zero numbers.
Note: So to be easier and get the number 1 in the Forum, prioritize positive posts and useful, this also applies to myself, For the future with the above regulation we will be more positive in doing work from all sectors, especially at the Bitcointalk Forum. Hopefully this event will be a reflection for all of us ...
