I can understand that to a certain extent. It is often quite difficult for me to find posts that I like. For example, I've started a couple of threads in the Frog Pond, but they still die in the swamp of the trivial and useless post and threads about Bitcoin becoming the major world currency ( it won't ). Bitcoin killing banks ( how stupid is that idea? ), and all the other similar and pretty worthless, imho, threads. I've now decided that I will give up completely on the Frog Pond, which is a shame, because it really ought to be the most interesting board. The two tech boards have become interesting, and there are some good threads there, and the beginners board seems to be a bit cleaner, but I think it could do with the moving out of the altcoin and bounty threads.
I don't think it would be a good idea to give prizes to merit awarders, it ought to be something that we do automatically when we spot a good post whilst reading the boards. A better idea would be to remove sMerits from the promo managers who are using points to rank up their affiliates and alts.
Andrew "achow101" plays a great role there and some users earn many merits makes those boards attractive.I don't think it would be a good idea to give prizes to merit awarders, it ought to be something that we do automatically when we spot a good post whilst reading the boards.

Personally, I see that this will increase the burden on managers and I do not recommend many comments in those boards "These boards are considered a reference for everyone who wants to learn so all posts must be 100% correct"
