Prediction:
Its Just the first day of this system but come back here after a month or so and you will see Jr Member and all other ranks will stuck at where they are and all those Selfish DT Members (Lunda / Pharmist / Actmyname etc) + Not Selfish DT Members + few good friends of them will have buckets full of merits and bitcointalk will be for those only 500 to 600 Users.
Now you see a spam by the Selffish DT members that "Improve your post quality" And we will still tag you Shit Poster
So no need to debate on this, just come back after a month on this and check the merits of everyone
Anyways now coming for the help of Ordinary public of bitcointalk, I have just one suggestion , Can we lower the number of the merits in order to achieve Ranks.
I mean if a Member needs 10 then why not
Full Member 20
Sr. Member 30
Hero Member 40
Legand 50
Of course only a good poster will first get 10 points to become member and time it take to achieve Hero to Leg. is still that same 1.3 to 2 years.
