Valid argument.
This shit idea has been suggested multiple times before and it's not going to happen.
@OP: Please lock the thread.

There is more just try to search. However it's not going to happen. But admin is implementing something for reporter's. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/seeking-reporter-badge-images-4742257
Aw sorry. My suggestion isn't unique at all.
If you go through this reporter statistics thread, quite a number of members got merited for posting their current stats;

Merit awarding is unregulated and hence it would be impossible to stipulate that merits would be awarded for fulfilling a certain obligation.
If your current numbers are good, and you are doing your bit to clean up the forum, you can reply on those threads, but there is no guarantee that it would get merited.
Thank you for this
That's the purpose actually.
They would be getting constant report on a post some might to even be reasonable claim they will just be another avenue for merit hunters to try there luck thereby abusing the forum.
I agree.
