- It would be appreciated by those good-willed Newbies and Juniors who are actually trying to do something useful for the forum, even without necessarily posting rocket science or Nobel Prize in Literature quality, to get a little bit higher in rank. You just can't expect people who are new to crypto, to post HQ topics and replies but at least they can earn some Merits while they are growing and learning. The reward would be nice but not disproportional, because if they wish to grow in rank, they will actually need to report 500 posts which is A LOT. So they will be helping to keep the forums tidy whilst being discouraged to post spam for which they risk to lose Merit again.

- And to those goldseekers who don't care about interesting topics, involvement or participation, and who came here only to get bounty signature money we now could say: you are most welcome to this forum and can stay a Newbie forever, but if you want to get a higher rank, you'll have to get your hands dirty and work for the forum by reporting spam.

Since the last post in this thread which I wrote about two years ago, not a lot has changed. It's because of a few recent threads in the Meta boards, that I decided to necrobump this thread.
I'd especially like to remind the suggestions I quoted above which apply especially to low-ranked members: if on one side, JetCash talks about more and more Newbies who are begging (even via PM) for Merit, and on the other, members are complaining about the increasing level of spam, why can't we think of a way of stimulating members to report spam?
I think I really tried to make a lot of possible suggestions in my OP back then, but they were apparently not enough too actually get enough support. In that case, feel free to suggest other ways of increasing spam reporting.
Eventually I quit the sarcasm and started reporting these posts. Mostly not because it was spam, but because people like you didn't understand my replies were meant to be sarcastic.
