I personally had an idea for signature campaigns, where the top poster of the week gets 10 merit (or some amount). This would incentivize better post quality within the campaign.

@yahoo62278 made this idea but it was only a bonus/gift for Account Farmers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827626.0

No one is required to post for Merit. If you just want to post randomly throughout the week, then that's fine too. Sure, the chances of you not getting more Merits will shrink a bit, but the main point is that people should be posting naturally, and not for the sake of Merits.

Yes, but this will not happen. People will continue to make their posts longer and more convincing.
Because the motive is to Rank up and not share knowledge.

People are forcing and exaggerating in their posts to get Merits, that I have noticed too, but that's still better than spamming with 'yes I think the price will go up', or 'Bitcoin will make us rich, but we have to trust in Bitcoin'. Everything that may potentially enhance the discussion field in a thread is a welcome addition, because that's what's missing now.

Answer is Yes better than spamming (Account Farmers) and NO (Improving the quality of post needs time).
You can not convert posts from spam to reddits posts in one week.
It is best that to the merit system to be an easy at first and difficulty with time and not vice versa
