In my opinion, the Merit system in Bitcoin Forum is such a thing that merit will be proved by those who will be a better quality of post quality. There will be a lot of maintenance. There is some number of Bounty managers who do not do any work, they will be doing this work.
All that is missing here is great project or an application to join a campaign.
My favorite is the lapse from logical thinking where they would do the work because they aren't doing their other work.
Edit: Maybe OP wants to lock their topic now
