For project devs, the quality of posts is not really important. Their main focus is to circulate their project name, token name, symbol etc. to maximum people possible. And for that the more posts carrying their signatures the better. So in that respect 1 merited post is certainly not greater than 15 spam posts. But yes, if you talk about click rates, then maybe merited posts have higher click rates than spam posts.
The better solution is to allow only those members to participate in bounties who have a earned a certain amount of merits. I am seeing more and more bounty managers adding that requirement which has obviously reduced spam by Bitcoin bounty participants. The major spam comes from altcoin bounties. So if the bounty managers in that section also add this requirement to their bounties, then I am sure spam won't remain an issue on BTT.
**I'm not sure why are you suggesting this requirement. You yourself haven't got any merits till now!!
To get one
