If theymos will demote those legendary ranks who haven't earned the required merits for their current rank then there will be a huge commotion here in forum. Lots of shitposers wearing signature will complained.

That would be fucking excellent. They've had two years to prove they're worth anything. They totally failed.

All the same ranks may as well stay but campaign managers should switch entirely to merit. If that airdropped stuff is all gone the shit legendaries won't have any use for their worthlessly obtained rank.

Not a bad idea, but I'm sure many people wouldn't like it - probably that rank would apply to those who have never earned a single merit, but we have Hero/Legendary members who have 25, 50 or even 100 earned merits, which does not help them avoid the category of shitpostings members.

Merit system implemented to impose a guideline to improve quality posts. So if there will be a next rank after Legendary it will be decided by theymos whether the idea hasn't approved by many, I'm sure this has come to his mind already and probably reading this thread if its a good move or not. Can't say, but hope he response here too.

I think creating a new rank is very low on the priority list right now, and that something like that might happen when we get a new forum. Certainly there are individuals who may deserve some new rank that would further emphasize their contribution to the forum, but this does not necessarily require a new rank.

A possible solution is to create special badges, as it has recently been the case in the art competition and even before that we can see some memebers have special badges.

It might be simpler to change coin color under username for say every 500 merits earned, but of course with an emphasis on earning merits (airdrops merits excluded). This could show the difference between those who only have airdroped merits, and those who earned them.

...there are still Legendary Shitposters. Maybe that can be a new rank Tongue

If he do, what could it be called? I'm thinking Mythical which is same with the Mobile Legend Final highest ranking. How about you do you agree?
Only for users who have received more than 5000 merits.

Considering that I have almost 3000 merit and considering that it has become a norm in some communities to accuse anyone who talks any sense of being me, I would like to humbly suggest that the new post-legendary rank be called "gmaxwell".

Rank only matters for signature space, although I clearly remember the moment I turned Legendary after waiting for many weeks.
I remember every moments I reached new ranks or new records of merits, LoyceV. Sweet memory, especially when I turned to be a Hero member. BTW, there is a fact that people only care (in my opinion and I could be wrong) about their coming ranks before they can reach it. I believe every Legendary members here don't care about their rank (if there is no risk of rank demotion, LOL) but it is a lie if they say "Oh, man, years ago, I felt very normal when my account turned to Legendary".

look at my activity/merit/posts ratio
I did:

User JaredKaragen (full history)
  • Received a total of 82 Merit up to last Friday.
  • Received 0 Merit for 0 of 1440 posts created before the introduction of Merit.
  • Received 81 Merit (98.78%) for 25 (2.93%) of 853 posts created after the introduction of Merit (0.0949 Merit per new post).
  • Received 1 Merit (1.21%) for posts that are now deleted (or off-limit (Staff/VIP Section)).


If I were to gauge it;  I would feel like I have been pushed back; after working very hard to get where I am.
You're Legendary already, and (understandably) some people prefer to Merit lower ranks. Your Merit earnings per post aren't very low, but not high either. You've posted a lot on the Altcoin boards, and because those boards have so much spam, even good posts don't get read much, and if posts don't get read, they won't receive any Merit. Adding the fact that you don't create many posts in total, you end up where you are now. But your posts aren't bad, so I did some "Merit source things" on them. I don't want to spend the rest of my day reading all your posts, so feel free to post links to some of your own good posts in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

If you're not loaded with sMerit, I would suggest though to spread them to more different posts. You've sent three quarters of your sMerit with 10 at a time.

Then again... does more rank really matter?  I thought people who achieved Legendary status;  actually earned it....

The "problem" is that many farmed spammers reached Legendary in the past, and despite many getting banned, there are still Legendary Shitposters. Maybe that can be a new rank Tongue

If ever theymos would add another rank then I think allot of things need to adjust as well. So far, the bounty and campaign payments will be more higher, and there seems to be no more appropriate rank name above legendary. Maybe a tag would do depending on what particular specialization these high ranking members do.

Such as for ddmrddmr and loyceV, they focus deeper on the concerns of the members regarding their rank, merits, and stats. Others are more on publishing contents and arts. And some are legit born to be bounty hunters.

merit is kind of a red herring though...

I made legendary before merit.... ok... sure.

look at my activity/merit/posts ratio

I feel I have provided great benefit to the forum in many ways over the years;  many can attest to that.

I see people with blasts of merit who post a lot in other sections of the forum; mainly the BTC sections and the gambling sections.


Many of the projects I have done over time, ended shortly after merit began....


Basically it puts me at a losing stance comparatively;  because I'm not sure if I will ever be needed for such projects in the future;  and not many new questions need a response from me in the last year.
If I were to gauge it;  I would feel like I have been pushed back; after working very hard to get where I am.  This is why I have spent more time in Meta the past several months;  I am trying to do what I can for the forum as a whole;  alongside the few other places that haven't required as much of my attention.



Then again... does more rank really matter?  I thought people who achieved Legendary status;  actually earned it....  

I don't see the need for creating more levels; only to curtail what we have now.

I thought about OP's idea for a long time... And I embrace it somehow, meaning that I think it would be nice to have a Legendary / Legend rank for the true legendary users from here, such as Satoshi, Hal, Laszlo, or GameKyuubi.

These guys became parts of Bitcoin history!

Of course, there are others as well  but they are the first who came in my mind.

And this proposal would mean either to offer only to them the Legendary rank (and have a different name for the highest "regular" rank - the one after Hero) or to create a special rank for them (such as Legend).

It would be nice to have a distinction for those who wrote history, especially for those who are not active anymore or passed away.

 But how about those beyond and over it. Seeing some members with more than 2000 merits is highly praised for their contributions. I think they deserved new rank
New rank and what after,  do the mention "Legendary + +2000 Merits" it's not sufficient ?!

For what, ranking must be as high as the sky, if only to make spamer and fraud in the Bitcointalk Forum, enough for the current rank of "Legendary".

Now there are 9 rankings each member has gone through, ranging from Brand New to Legendary, plus the Copper Member position that must be purchased.

If you think it really needs to be done, just give those who have the rank of Legendary something that can benefit those who have more Merit value and who contribute well in this Forum, Whatever it is, the important thing is useful.

With or without new rank, they are all recognized here. I don't see convincing reasons to have new rank if the new one does not give users who have it any kinda benefits.

If there is a new rank, with a requirement at above 2000 total merits (1000 airdropped + 1000 self-earned merits; or 2000+ self-earned merits - depends on old-era or new-era Legendary members), how many users will get it for now, or even next one year? Not many as I see.

If the merit system weren't in place I'd say there were enough ranks, but since it is it seems a shame there isn't one that can be reached only by properly earning it.

After all this time I think it's unfortunate the average newbie won't be able to tell the immediate difference between a self made posting genius and some mouth breathing fuckstick who posted 'nice project' once a day for 2-3 years.

Anyone who earned more than 2500 merits should be given a special tag or badge along with the legendary rank IMHO.

But chances of adding features for very number of people might be less since thyemos mentioned multiple times he is busy with forum development and personal life at different threads.

Wish for the rain? Then deal with the mud too.
I'm surprised to see this topic today. I just ask to myself, is this a gift for a new year celebration from BTT forum? But I hope no.  Cheesy  
Anyway, I agree with hugeblack. Why we need another rank? It seems no problem with the rank system so far. Having more rank isn't likely to bring something valuable to forum. I think it is better to focus on how to improve the number of active members and their quality.

What are the benefits of adding more ranks?
I doubt no significant benefits.

It looks good for people at higher ranks however isn't it those on low ranks that got a little hope of being promoted to a higher rank will be more left behind? I am not opposing the idea but I just feel pity to those on the lower tier specially those who got underrated post.
