What is the most merited post?

[BlackHatCoiner]

I'm not sure you are ready for this lol. If I counted correctly, I see he got 1431 merits for that topic announcing the merit system

Here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0.

No, I'm not talking about how many merits did they earn from their posts. I'm talking about how many they added by themselves, from their admin panel.

I don't know who is "they" lol. Theymos is the one running the forum and he has multiple staff members helping him.

He did not give merits to himself nor to the staff. You can see here the entire merit history of any member, including theymos: http://loyce.club/.

He is the most merited member of the forum.

I'm just saying that some thousands merits somehow were "born". If theymos is the head admin then he must have made them and then spread them to everybody.

I think you are confused a bit, although I wrote before a quote from his words.

So: at that moment (Jan 24, 2018), if you were already Legendary, you would have received an airdrop of merits equal to the number this rank requires now: 1000. If you were Hero, you would have received an airdrop of 500 merits. And so on: the same applied for Sr. Members, which received 250 airdropped merits, or 100 for Full members.

All these merits were "born" through code, of course.

After that moment, all the new registered users had to start earning from 0 merits.

I hope it's more clear now

Welcome!
As a matter of fact, even Members received 10 airdropped merits at that time.

The only ones who didn't receive any airdrop were the ranks which did not require any merit back then: Brand New, Newbie and Jr. Member.

Months later, in Sept. 2018, theymos changed the requirements for Jr. Members, which, since then, need 1 merit (more info here).

This led to a mass demotion of all Jr. Members to Newbie (all which didn't have at least 1 merit, of course) and also to a riot of the shitposters lol. But it was a great enhancement!

when Theymos finally announced about the Merit system implementation that gathers more than  500 merits that haven't been break up to now for more than 2 years.
