[Proposal] Enhance the requirements for ranking up to Member position

[DdmrDdmr]

<...> I forgot to mention that these ranks are based on the merit amount regardless of the current activity, so I just added the notice below the chart.<...>

I looked into that option too, but strangely enough, we still seem to differ for some reason:

Code:

selfMadeRank                  nUsers
self-made Legendary           13
self-made Hero Member         43
self-made Sr. Member          108
self-made Full Member         378
self-made Member              6538
self-made Jr. Member          19665

Considering just merits, not activity. Data as of 22/02/2019. We’re spot-on Sr. Members (108), but differ a lot in Members for example.

I take into consideration the initial amount of merits, that is, the rank on the day the merit system is introduced also matters. If a user was a Member (or higher) on January 24, 2018, he/she couldn't rank up to his/her initial position.

Also, It would be interested in seeing the ratio of Jr members to those who ranked up to Members

N (users who ranked up to Jr Member) / N (users who ranked up to Member) = .....

This is an additional ratio of ranked up users:

• 16130 (users who ranked up to Jr. Member) / 3957 (users who ranked up to Member) = 4.07

I can reproduce your data: From Total number of users who received 1 or more Merit:

Code:

   543. 99 Merit received by vh (#690806) from 12 unique users in 21 transactions
~
  7080. 10 Merit received by (GrOOm) (#1613421) from 2 unique users in 2 transactions

There are 7080-543+1=6538 users who earned anywhere from 10 to 99 Merit.

I take into consideration the initial amount of merits, that is, the rank on the day the merit system is introduced also matters. If a user was a Member (or higher) on January 24, 2018, he/she couldn't rank up to his/her initial position.

That makes sense
I'm not going to try to reproduce it.

I also feel that merit requirement should be changed.

For example,

5 merit for jr member, 20 for member, 50 for full member, 100 for sr member, and 250 for legendary. 

I am not asking for merit airdrop to everyone again, start from scratch, I don't care. In current system, reaching jr or member status is ok but anything above it the gap is HUGE!

Those first two are good to wipe out all shitposters and don't allow them chances to move up to Member rank.

5 merit for jr member, 20 for member

I don't agree.
Those three requirements, if accepted and implemented by theymos, will create a new generation of shitty Full Members, Senior Members, and above.
I have a hypothesis that if those new requirements implemented, we will see a new abusement wave like that happened with Junior Members Demotion last year. 

50 for full member, 100 for sr member, and 250 for legendary.  

I like the gap, that makes a lot of sense for the forum.

anything above it the gap is HUGE!
