Post by: paulmaritz on April 01, 2018, 04:50:07 PM
I am seeing the following to my left:

Activity: 504
Merit: 259
Politeness: 250
fMerit: 128
Imagination: 42
Virtue: 7
Coins: 170

Is this a new ranking system? Could someone shed more light on this? Thanks. 8)

Got my answer. Not 100% sure, but it seems to be an April Fool's Day joke. ;D

P.S. Admin please move this thread to "Meta" or delete it. Thanks.

It's just a joke by theymos because yesterday was the day of fools. Many users get worried about it but it doesn't matter to be worried because I just remember it's APRIL FOOL'S DAY. I was seriously undertood it.

Funny enough, I actually welcomed it. It would be great if they could incorporate some of those metrics into the existing ranking system for real.

This one’s just for April fools day. And I gotta say, this prank did alarm everyone in the community. Who would know an admin here will put a prank on our faces. But really, we could use a good laugh once in a while. Being too serious with our jobs here would be stressful. A good play from the admins that gave us a good laugh and also a thing to think about. Props to our admins for doing a good job for our community.

Well you have received great quality jokes from Theymos, he sent a joke posting which is related to merit as talked by lot of people in this forum. You can check your profile status now, there is no more other parameters... ;D

I actually liked the new features, it gave us more options to rank up, im really sad to see that it was just a joke, i hope it will be implemented or new ways of ranking up will be introduced soon.

My thoughts exactly. It immediately took the attention away from merit alone and gave hope that something good is in the making. The drawback now is that folks might say we want to have a April Fools Day joke permanently implemented. lol
