[April fools] New new rank requirements

[lotfiuser]

sir please we dont need this shit i dont like it its useless as we already have merit or maybe you can kick merit it will make it look better

[DdmrDdmr]

Been searching for a complete list of countries that celebrate April fools’ day today but couldn’t find it. Not all countries do it today.

The system renders all my hard worked stats created this week void. I’ll have to rush to come out with new ones in a flash!

I would have added spelling correction and grammar likeness to Shakespeare, Cervantes and so on (one per country to set a high standard).

I’ll need to ask Elisabeth for a knighthood to get the Sir linked to my name for life.

While merit improved things a lot, clearly more adjustments were necessary. Therefore, some new rank requirements have been added in addition to the old requirements.
This never ends, so the person will advance in rank.
Rank adjustments happen every week on Tuesday, and you can only go up 1 rank per week.
Hopefully this easy-to-understand, graphical ranking system will put to rest many users' questions and concerns once and for all.

This is a wonderful addition by you buddy, it is really interesting to see new things being tested and it makes things more interesting ,it might take some time to fully understand the new graphical ranking system but it is a really interesting input , will there be more rankings for elite users if so that would be great too and makes things interesting for legendary users too, but i think i am more polite and imaginative than the stats shown here .

I got 22 points of imagination. It doesn't seem right.
57 pts politeness is quite underrated, I sometimes troll in "non-formal/professional" boards like speculation, but I'm totally honest with my responses.

This new system needs to be be polished asap!
April Fools, Bitcointalk!

Wait is this an april fool's joke or not  .

Too confused  

This is not a joke or something. If you can read Mr. , you will know that this is a new Rank Requirements.
At first, I'm sure that people will really get confused by how this works, but if we try to understand what is the purpose and the goal of this new requirement. Just like Merit, time will pass and we will be able to understand it.

Exactly mate. I don't need to worry myself or the forum on this. Just like the merit system, it took some short time and others long time to understand but I'm sure 95% of users from junior member rank got to understand the merit system before the introduction of this present ranking system.

Surely, it will be understood. What we need to do is to monitor our profile rank as we post and progress, also observe and read from others comment. However, I hope is all automated because the manual merit system to me was/is highly biase and full of cheating.

Theymos is such a great innovator. I mean, does he get such suggestions from a bot....lol.  Thumbs up to you Theymos.

Thanks for explaining about the new ranks hope we will make them much better but can you please explain, how you will know about invested coins by us ? Thanks

[Dinda mayasi]

Sounds good. I fully support this adjusments. It need for discussion in this forum.

[styca]

I do not understand much about this new arrangement. Who can tell me if I want to become a member, I have to achieve something on .merit, politeness, fmerit, imagination, virtue, coins, karma. How do you get new rankings?

It's quite simple actually.

Every post that you make on a Thursday is run through an algorithm, which may assign you some 'imagination'. Any imagination you gain is then checked against all posts that you made in the preceding 6 days. If there is a high degree of uniqueness - i.e., you are not repeating the same posts, then this gives you some 'virtue' points.
'Politeness' is granted for every post, but then reduced if you have used swear words, bold font or CAPS. Use of exclamation marks is kind of a grey area.
'Fmerit' is short for 'f***ing merit' - you gain or lose points here depending on whether or not you make posts complaining about the merit system.
'Coins' is a complex calculation based on the total coins you hold in all of your crypto wallets, and when you bought them. Yes, even those coins that are supposed to be anonymous.
'Karma' scans your soul and awards points based on your thoughts and behaviour. I'm kind of confused about how they get the scores for this. It might depend on whether or not you have a webcam.

It is a bit unfortunate that this new system came out on April 1st, as some people might mistakenly consider it a joke.

[escalante28]

With all due respect, you haven't really fully explain how it works. We hope that this will improve us to obtain our rank with reliable reasons.

[RAMSHIVDEEPAK]

it is very complex.I dont understand how it is calculated or how it will help for membership.

Why does satoshi have a bad virtue? This does mean that satoshi will be visited by holy inquisition?

satoshi

Activity: 364
Merit: 1053
Politeness: 82
fMerit: 636
Imagination: 4
Virtue: 6
Coins: 77
Karma: 215

This means satoshi has invested in 77 different coins?   Wondering what he has invested in?

[akamit]

OMG!  

Need to call Sir Einstein, Sir Newton, Sir Tesla or as many Scientists as possible to understand Sir Theymos Scientist's inventions.  

Thanks for fooling us Sir Theymos. We appreciated it and enjoyed fully.  


Kept a screenshot as a record if it really intended to fool us on 1st April.



edit: Sir Theymos, please make me Legendary with this new rank requirements? I'm very polite. 

[straX]

I dont have a choice for new system now
I read and i think it is useful for our members.

[botany]

Hello sir,
I didn't get fmerit system. Is it good with more fmerit or is it with less fmerit??

Thank you in advance.

So are you overjoyed or worried with the 100+ fmerit you have?

Satoshi holds bitcoins - and by extension every other fork that has sprung up until now. Haven't you been keeping track of Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin what-not? Count them and you will reach the magic number of 77. 

[GreatFelix]

Finally an easy to understand system!

Thank you for your hard work sir,

Just let me add some images!

Thank you sir! Please keep us informed for all cool new features/adjustments for our accounts.
Thanks again.

P.S. Sir

[ralle14]

Wow I have 760 politeness that's a lot of please and sir. I have a low virtue i'll surely be visited by the holy inquisition (anyone know how do you get more of those?). I didn't knew I invested a total of 246 coins very interesting update overall made my day. Anyone here have a high number of everything ?  

it is very complex.I dont understand how it is calculated or how it will help for membership.  

It should be, to combat more spam here in the forum.

[vintages]

Just woke up now and I am getting my first April fool play from bitcointalk.. This community will never cease to amaze me. More reason why I spend so much of my time here. Much love...

But on a serious note; is Theymos actually serious about this, I mean he won't took out his time to work on this just for April fools day right? In as much as I feel this is April fools, I am still thinking he could be serious. Theymos, please help clear the doubts.

[stingers]

Sir
Sir theymos deserve 1000 points of imagination for this april fool's idea please
please
that fmerit calculation formula though  
Now we rank up visually, but isn't the idea of still life better?
I think we  should advance to next level when we our parameters could yield a still life in the game of life where everyone is at peace. (but no development, ignorance is a bliss)

[kaya11]

Holy what? Who are the people who will be in touch with me if I have low points in virtue? Are they some kind of priests? Another yet exciting features added, just as expected from a brilliant mind. Job well done theymos.
Another thing would it be possible those points will be deducted as we do opposite behaviors? At some point I am not very polite but I will try to.
