calling all sauces...

[The Sceptical Chymist]

These are three lists of those close to ranking-up, lacking less than 20% merits to reach their goal (Activity is reached in all cases (*), they just lack merits):
<snip>

Man, you are the data guru (along with LoyceV, of course).  I appreciate the links and I'm going to pay particular attention to the members who are close to ranking up to Full Member.  Don't know what I'll find when I start checking post histories, but we'll see.

Even easier would be to use iasenko's list, which I'll also do.  Sure would be nice if Theymos filled up my source sMerits, because I'm running relatively low on my personal ones.  Don't know if he looked at that thread about merit sources who need more sMerits, but hopefully he did and is considering it.

User ; hatshepsut93 very near of Legendary and he have enough activity for that. I sent him couple of merit and he need more 65 merits. If some other could help him perhaps I would sent few more as well. He have made few good post, hole he will Legendary soon.

@Issenko there is bit wrong info, I had started journey with ZERO merit on forum. All merit received from others. Anyway thanks for add me on list. I need more 79 merit to become Legendary  . Feeling excited...

But I need activity instead of merit. Should I create thread "How to earn activity? (LOL)  

@TMAN, I appreciate your initiative. Go ahead. I am trying to help low ranked users since my allocation is small.

You seem to have crossed linkage on hatshepsut93’s profile (links to a thread and not a profile).

Regarding the 2 merits in the StartedWith column on @Iasenko’s list, that is due to:

<…> Note: sometimes, we will see a "startedwith" that seems inconsistent. For example, @tranthidung displays 1 merit for this column. What happened in this case (and a few others) is that the profile is merited between the moment the forum generates the merit.txt file, and I scrape the profile data (the TXs + airdrop do not add up to the merit on the profile, and thus startedwith has a non-expected value). It’s just a tiny hiccup, that does not affect too many profiles.<…>

Even on this week’s listing you still have a StartedWith of 1 (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mD6cdsQNJ8dauTL-XLi8I0oDG5WBl0z0NeKzXTByNyw/edit#gid=1547785466). You’ve got the bad ( ) habit of being merited on Friday mornings, and that causes this (slight) disadjustment in the algorithm.

<…> It is wrong for my case too. I remembered that I started with 0 merit (not 1) when merit system kicked in.<…>

Same goes for your case. This week, you have a StartedWith value of 0 in the above link. The InitialRank should be correct though, since I take into account these discrepancies.

@Coolcryptovator, are you sure about the profile you provided: hatshepsut93

I think you need a little rest to work on the campaign that you run,
Maybe you are too tired in this matter.

Yes, I agree what @Coolcryptovator says, Lagendary is almost close.
For @ hatshepsut93.

Some very nice efforts here by the community, and I'd like to applaud the work people do to assist new and rising forum members. What's interesting to me though, is that the current situation with merit calls for action to assist people that might be high quality posters, but are still new to the forum. This way, they sort of have an advantage in gathering merit compared to older merits; as only the new members would be stuck in the lower ranks without it. Interesting to think about, but it's just virtual internet points in the end.

Yeah, but you still need some more merits, though I'm pretty sure that you'll earn those before you get enough activity to hit Legendary.  But hey, that's a good problem to have, right?  I know tons of other members would love to be in your shoes instead of being perpetually stuck at Jr. Member.

I'd like to reiterate my offer for members to PM me with links to their posts that they think are deserving of merits.  I made the offer in another thread (I think) and have had a grand total of two members contacting me.  I'll be happy to review posts and as I said before, if I like them I'll give them merits and if not, I won't.  There's no harm in PMing me.

I'll check his post history after I finish writing this post.  I definitely recognize the name but I'm not sure if I've ever given him any merits or not.  I have a lot of sections on ignore, so I'm sure I miss a lot of good posts.

It is wrong for my case too. I remembered that I started with 0 merit (not 1) when merit system kicked in.

Months ago, @DdmrDdmr made a update in one of his threads and claimed that I am a self-made Hero member from old-era Newbie.

I think I need to bump this with a small request.
While I'm doing a new list with Soon-to-be-Legendary, fount this guy (see below) who needs 4 merit to rank up to Legendary ( if he is that lucky). He already have the activity.
I'm out of sMerit otherwise you know... I love to rank-up people

I have to know if I'm gonna put him in the competition
