- New participants are now required to have at least 20 merits. Merit earned from "merit giveaway threads" will not count towards this quota. Interpretation of what qualifies as a merit giveaway thread is entirely up to my jurisdiction.
- The account age must be at least 100 days old, and have at least 100 activity. "Minimum posts" is now removed.
-- These requirements also exclude Newbies and Jr. Members from joining the challenge.
- It is now required to post a screenshot of your node output in addition to copying and pasting the text. The screenshot must be the size the entire screen.
- Accounts with changed ownership may be removed.

There will be a grace period of 2 weeks for existing users to finish syncing their nodes, with these changes to take effect on November 14.

After this date, unqualified participants may be removed without notice.
