Shame there's no option to keep the scores for that (it'd be an interesting thing to track). I am still curious about the "April fool's joke" thing. Can anyone please give me some useful links for clarifications. I am a newbie. Thank you in advanced.
Here you go http://bfy.tw/4ywcYes, april fools is just something (some of us) do in the west to have a world wide day of trickery. I have to say, I didn't get this at first (too focused on Easter). Yesterday not less than 172 sMerit was received by the forum administrator TheyMos for the newly introduced system which later turn out to be April Fools. Can one conclude that sMerit sent was a waits?
That is really so. 172 sMerits that's exactly how much I nedd to rank up to Sr.member and he got it for a joke. A little bit not fair. Can we count this case as merit abusing one and report on theymos? Haha They're meriting the april fools joke. It must've took a lot of effort to pull off (think about it) scores for everyone had to be generated from an algorithm which would've taken a lot of coding for just a day's worth of a joke. I think people should get a personal rule of not meriting a post that has already been merited more than twice (I do that - or attempt to).

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I believe lots of people here have jokes but probably nobody dare to post it.

This is an april fools joke.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. The new rank components are: Activity & MeritAs before. PolitenessHow polite you have been in your posts, using language such as "please" and "sir". Politeness is after all the cornerstone of any good community. fMeritAn obvious extension on top of Merit, sMerit, and source merit. It is calculated using this simple formula: min((1103515245*(uid+activity)+12345) % (1<<10),(1103515245*posts+12345) % (1<<10), (1103515245*merit+12345) % (1<<10)) ImaginationBitcoin would not even exist without Satoshi's impressive imagination, so I've decided to take this into account on the forum. Imaginative people are those who have posted many images. VirtueThis is an upright, God-fearing community which will suffer no witchcraft or other heresy. This stat measures your moral virtue. Warning: those with low virtue may be visited by the holy inquisition. CoinsHow many different coins you have invested in. A good Bitcointalker will maintain a reasonable balance between conservative (100% yearly return) and aggressive (7% weekly return) tokens/coins. KarmaThis is how many non-scammer trust ratings you have both sent and received. Due to our strict moderation of the trust system, this is sure to be a highly reliable measure of your reliability vis-à-vis the trust system.
Previously a lot of people were posting questions about the ranking system, so I decided to simplify it. Just put the highest-order 10 bits of each number into a grid in this configuration: Then run Conway's Game of Life on the cells. If the cells never stop moving even after infinite steps, then you advance to the next rank. For example, consider someone with these stats: Merit: 40 Activity: 56 Politeness: 36 fMerit: 56 Imagination: 36 Virtue: 40 Coins: 56 Karma: 40 This gives you a grid like: 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 hilarious joke from the moderator. Adding such indicators will make the members more confused and do not know what criteria to rank. Looking at the Karma index reminds me of Reddit, a well-known socialist in managing and purifying members.

That joke comes with a lot of effort and I commend OP for that. And because you got a lot of merits, I could say that Merit is perishable so you can share it with us (do not delay)

Dear SIR theymos, Put the politeness score back or i will not say SIR anymore! However I will keep saying PLEASE sometimes tho. Yep, and add a -1 points for every bad word PLEASE. THANK YOU SIR Theymos @Semi-serious mode: I think that we saw yesterday an effective way to make the community more "polite".

I was right. It was an April Fools Day joke. That joke comes with a lot of effort and I commend OP for that. And because you got a lot of merits, I could say that Merit is perishable so you can share it with us (do not delay) I applaud the OP (bitcointalk Admin) as well.

Really really well done. Well thought out and definitely in keeping with what million merit posts!
Had me hook line and sinker I was messaging people asking them to help me understand how it works and asking on reddit and everything.

Honestly, I did wonder about about in some way locally tagging all the people who did not get the joke for my own benefit - not to say they are untrustworthy per se, just that they are colossally dense.
There is this little known feature called "Ignore". Works brilliantly as a shitposting tag. Having said that, I rarely use it. Every day is like April Fools with these folks. I like cheap amusement.

I was honestly shocked what happens to my account that I thought the new system will be added forever. If it happens low members will hardly to rank up or the signature campaigners will hardly to join in a signature campaign if its required. Well. I'm glad that it's just a joke because of April fools.

Now that the extra stats are gone, I sort of wish that they were still around. theymos, would you be a darling and allow an option for us to remain in April Fools mode? It was too enjoyable and complex for a simple 1-day playground. I would like to see some very interesting rolls in the Game of Life.
It might be interesting to see how many people continue as if it is real, without actually changing the rank-up rules, but allowing the joke to play out longer. Please, sir.

Dear SIR Theymos, with the new stats and new rules coming up once in every few months, i feel community is getting bit messier because of lot of them are unclear on the updates! However with the changes taking in place there wont be any kind of crap posts, quality content exists. Please come up with something by removing ranking system and place some other metric with other placed stats.
THANK YOU SIR

i would love to have that "politeness" one back but maybe renamed to "rudeness" based on swears, condescending posts etc. might even be useful lol.
maybe an "average post length" too, as long as we are dreaming up "useful" stats..
