"For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank"
Unfortunately, have to admit it is another one of those steps heavily skewed in favor of early adopters.
This is exactly my point: if the merit system would have been implemented just in a month, I'd had 100 merit by default, without any relation with post quality. 100 point that now I need to earn.
I don't complain about my position, much more, I received a red trust as "shitposter", I want to get rid of it, so I'll put any effort to write good posts.
But it seems unfair to me that a lot of high rank members have so much advantage with no other reason that their initail position.
Btw, may be to earn merit is easier that I think, even I don't think so. We'll see.
