You don't need to do any of that. All you need to do is to read the threads all over the forum that offer help to quality posters, and you need to act on the advice. The board is littered with threads and post by people whingeing about the merit system, but it is significant that very few of them can actually be bothered to take the advice to improve their posting.

Vision was for merit reduce spam and shitpost. Yes it's success.
Then nothing else matters. Over time all will be fine.

However, taking some hard actions against merit abusers will alert the abusers a lot. They won't dare to abuse merit. Merit abusers are giving silly excuses and saving their ass.

I appreciate merit system to reduce spamming from forum. Of course it was implemented for reduce spam and shitpost. Some how it's useful for forum reputation. Merit system keep role to avoid shitpost and spam. But now a days merit system become corrupted by merit abuser. You can check on reputation board. There is many thread about abuse merit system.

I appreciate them those are given merit for HQ post. But question is there is enough time to find HQ poster for merit source or merit holder? How a quality poster get attention to merit source or merit holder ?

For this reason people getting merit on shitpost. Even they are getting merit for reporting on bounty and replay for ANN. It dose not matter they are not punished for that . But are you think that bounty report can be HQ post?
I think not. So what you think if some one received 20/30/40 or 50 merit on bounty replay post. This is not call corrupt?

So what about who have make quality post and he didn't received merit ? You will find reputation section many merit abuse thread. This thread only those are caught. But there are many abuser that not yet caught. And it's not possible to find.

Vision was for merit reduce spam and shitpost. Yes it's success. But how many percent it's success? Do you think it's need to upgrade again ? I think it's important to upgrade. Otherwise a good person or quality poster can't change their rank on his life time.

The reason is this thread, even we can't stop corruption but you should consider merit system for HQ poster.

I have no much ideas how it can upgrade. But what I think , at least open a new board or section that for claim upgrade rank. So those are think he made quality post and he deserve for rank up or merit, he can apply. In a result those is merit source and merit holder, they can simply check & review their profile, they are deserve for rank up or not.

I apologize if I am wrong. I just share current situation.

I don't know this is right place for this thread or not. If need move you can suggest.
