Is it time for them to get a higher rank?

[BITCOIN4X]

ShowOff, your question has been answered by some of the users above and actually I see most of us disagree with it for quite a reasonable reason. I agree with your approach but not all of them have to get it because the merit system works for the quality of user posts. They will get merit if they are able to post quality things, this is the basis why quality posts are needed to get merit and rank up even though they have really contributed to the forum.

In comparison, you might find it easier to suggest merit sources for distributing merit if the people on your list do something like actmyname. He has his own thread regarding deleted user post report activity, I saw it update every time period. If you find that most of the names on the list are the same, then I think you can ask to review their posts on merit sources in the thread LoyceV has provided. Even though right now everyone on the list still needed merit to move up the rank, but if they could post quality stuff then naturally they would get it. I'm sure about that because merit won't stop them from rank.

Halab aren't wrong...

It has been requested, but not sure that all top reporters want to be exposed publicly. And if it turns into a dick contest like merits...

May be. Clearly. But even so, it will be beneficial for the forum. The more good reports, the cleaner will the forum be, isn't it?
And it doesn't have to be on levels (for becoming "a dick contest"), only a "Top Reporter" badge will do (with no visible numbers under it).
Then I'd expect that the result will be even more reports. Nothing wrong with that.

But regardless of how quality their posts have been so far, their contribution to keeping the forum clean of spammers and low quality posts should be greatly appreciated.

I'll throw in my 2 sats too: Merit is meant for good posts, if theymos wanted people to earn Merit from reporting, he would have added it as a feature.

I checked only the first user on your list (bluspirit): he barely makes any posts, which explains the lack of Merit. Nothing wrong with a user who reads a lot, reports spam, and doesn't post much

If I'm correct, there was a few threads (at least one) where user proposed merit for each good report. You are proposing the same. I don’t think it’s a good idea to pour merit to the top reporters.
Someone spending a huge time on reporting a lot posts doesn’t necessarily mean they should be gifted merit. They/everyone on the forum have to earn it by posting merit worthy contents, by contributing in the forum by posting. I don’t think your proposal is a good one.

I checked only the first user on your list (bluspirit): he barely makes any posts, which explains the lack of Merit.

You didn’t check the 2nd one, miner29? He has 1000 post and earned 59 merit only. He has joined the forum in 2019 means after the merit system introduced. He seems quite active in the mining (altcoin). By any means, is it possible that Altcoin Mining board is lack of enough merit sources? I'm not sure, haven’t checked any data but that seems to be the case. I didn’t read his post but they seems worthy to be meritable by first look.

No (that is what I said).

Or the whole altcoin mining board just isn't interesting enough for most people. I can imagine there's a lot of spam on those boards, so that explains he's in the list.

I didn’t read his post but they seems worthy to be meritable by first look.

That's the problem: I don't want to read 1000 posts on altcoin mining.
He doesn't look like a spammer though, so I believe Merit shouldn't be holding him back. I've taken the lazy approach: re-Merit some of his already Merited posts. He's in avatar territory now
I now see I slightly overdid it: 7 Merit more than I intended.

Despite all other people's thoughts and opinions on my idea of ​​creating this thread, what you actually do is my main goal. I want people who are willing to review their posts to at least get some quality posts for merit.

So while not all of you agree with what I'm saying, I'm really glad you didn't ignore me and were willing to give your opinion on my question and Congratulations to @bluspirit made it to the rank after @LoyceV was willing to review some of your posts. And for the other users on my list above, you will all get your ranking sooner or later depending on how quality your posts are.

Thank you all for your contributions, because without you I might not have realized that quality posts are so much needed on this forum. I've been temporarily banned before because too many posts were deleted in 24 hours, so for those of you who have reported my spam posts in the past, I say a big thank you. You've made me realize and since then I just want to do better. Specifically @acmyname, I just hope I'm not included in the many ignore lists of many other users on the forum because I've been on yours list. There's no point in regretting it now, but the changes and improvement quality post that was proof that I really wanted to change.
