At first I thought that the OP was addressing the problems ongoing about members and there alts cheating the system. But then I read his potential solution which is creating a new board for merit sources to see members who wants to to rank up fast. Which gives me the conclusion that it is not all about the corruption after all but about ranking up fast, he didn't brialliantly hid the fact that he is getting a hard time receiving merits while worthless ANN threads are getting dozens or even hundreds of Merits.
I agree, they give their merits to a succesful campaign managers not for a HQ post but for successful campaigns that doesn't serve these purpose. It hoops down the credibility not only for the system implemented but also to the high rank members who was given the task to execute it. Maybe this is one of the reason why some new members are ended in spamming to show their disappointment.
