If you do all that you mentioned in your post, you will automatically get merits from other members.
Also, in the long run if you show your dedication on this forum, you may be considered for some work by the admin in future if necessary. I am not sure that if it is something you want or not but all members are not here for that thing. Regarding giving merits for this work, in the official thread, nothing of that sort is mentioned from what I interpret.
No that is not something I want. I have a 100% report rate because I report stuff i find inappropriate either way.
This was a suggestion how to involve those who have the time and are willing to participate because they see rule breakers and spam all around.
I get that you think this will help improve the forum if more people will participate however, this opens an opportunity for merit farming. People could just easily create alt/fake/spam accounts then spam all over the forum, then they themselves will report these accounts so that they get the credit or merits.
Have you heard about how a village tried to eliminate snakes by giving money to those who could kill snakes and bring them to the village leader. Instead of eradicating the snakes in the village, the number of snakes actually increased. You know why? People started to farm snakes because of the money.
Don’t introduce a snake pit into this forum.
I understand what you are saying. People abuse and will always find a way to abuse the system, thats the way it is. Everything gets abused in life.
You can farm snakes to get more money but can you train your snakes not to bite your child, parent or relative?
There is no perfect system. Merits are not perfect either and they get abused like everything else.
We have a system where we stake our BTC address on this forum and in case our BTT account gets hacked we have to sign a message with that address but if you think about it that is not perfect either and can be abused. I am not gonna say how though. There is also a saying that goes something like between two evils choose the smaller evil.
