I am for now just a Full Member on this forum but I missed a week to be a Senior Member. Yes just a week after the establishment of the merit system, I would have been Senior.
I will not come back on the interest of the system there are enough threads to discuss it, I would just like to make a remark and a little poll to gather feedback on this idea.
Shouldn’t we visually differentiate ranks? These acquired by the old rules and those acquired by the new merit system? You can vote.
If I take my example, to get the next rank I need 250 merits, that's 150 merits to get, so I’m only third of the way, the road is long, especially for a non-native English speaker.
I hope I will do it but I would be simply Senior Member. At the same level as a Senior Member who maybe has the only "merit" of registering 1 or 2 weeks before me on the forum.
Hence a proposal to differentiate the ranks harder acquired by the merit system.
I don’t know how exactly it could be designed, the icons under the rank could be different for ranks earned with merits for example.
Thanks for your feedbacks.
EDIT: with first feedbacks I realize there is some ambiguity, I don't propose 2 parallel ranking systems, just a differentiation for new ranks acquired by merits, ie:

So, I changed the thread subject to add "Visually".
