Manually checking only recent posts may not be fair, sometimes people fail to post something constructive for a while, someone might just want to spend a week or so just posting some funny memes in the WO thread.
but again checking old and new posts might be time consuming too, maybe campaign managers should hire someone they trust to provide quality-check for campaign applicants? Provided they don't have the time to do so themselves.

TOOLS FOR CAMPAIGN MANAGERS
Today, I saw the topic, created by 1miau, Number of earned Merit during the last 120 days (counted automatically)
Inside the topic, some ideas raised, from which I got ideas to start my topic.
In addition, one of famous managers, Hhampuz raised question about this, days ago:
What can I do about possible merit abuse?
I think that managers should use different tools in combination to check their campaigns' applications better (faster, more easily and more efficiently).
Managers usually spend their time to look at raw figures like total earned merits, total earned merits in last 120 days, then they will do next step to check post quality. Campaigns' managers have to dig deeply into merited posts to see quality and assess that users got merits for really quality posts or fake ones.
In my opinion, the number of total earned merits during last 120 days is just a raw indicator, hence to improve their checking procedure more efficiently, managers should do those following steps, with supports from tools give by Vod, LoyceV, and DdmrDdmr.
1. Total numbers of earned merits (given by BPIP);
For example:
Hhampuz
How to use it?
Already done:
https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=&from=&start=&end=&min=&max=
Just put profile name after to= and 120 days ago in start=
Code for Hhampuz's example:https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=&from=&start=&end=&min=&max=
Just put profile name after to= and 120 days ago in start=
Code:
[url=https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=Hhampuz&from=&start=11/27/18&end=&min=&max=]Hhampuz[/url]
2. Intensity of earned merits (given by @LoyceV's charts);
Each bar presents total merits earned for each 5-day period. The bar chat can help us to have good overview on the intensity of earned merits over user history, and sudden changes in some bar (spikes) should be considered deeply due to potential merit abusements.
For example:
Hhampuz's earned merits chart.
Code:

3. Merit Dashboard (given by @DdmrDdmr);
How to use DdmrDdmr's tool?
Here you go:
The Merit Dashboard does that. Simply go to the "Received Merit" tab, and adjust the date range slider to the date interval required (i.e. between date x and date y), be it 120 days or other. By default it shows all history. Then enter the user name or user Id on the boxes on the right side of the screen.
You should see (data as of last Friday):
- the total amount of merits earned by the forum member in the timeframe (on the right side of the screen, under the name).
- the amount received per rank in that timeframe.
- a breakdown by month.
- a breakdown by day.
- a summary of the forum names that merited the profile, and amounts, in the timeframe.
To change the username or id, just click on the parameter box, press the "x’ to delete current parameter, and type in a new name.
Note that the software, Tableau Public will timeout after around four minutes of inactivity, so if that happens, the date range may need to be provided again.
You can also see (on the "Rankings" tab) the most merited profiles in a given timeframe and board.

For example:
4. Quality of merited posts or topics (manually check by managers);
5. General quality of recent posts, including merited ones and un-merited ones (manually check by managers).
I am not sure about the given tool on Merit Dashboard, that likely a little bit complicated, but these two tools (1), and (2) should be used as additional tools for the manual works in step (4), and (5).
6. Merits received/sent in the last 120 days" script, v0.2, by TryNinja
I just noticed I made a very bad and obvious mistake on my "Merits received/sent in the last 120 days" script. I counted each entry as if it was of only 1 merit, making the number appear much lower than it should. I only noticed that when I checked the profile of a user that received 50 merits in a single transaction (along with other txs), and yet it was showing like he only received 49 merits in the last 120 days.
