Not bad. I think the merit system should adjust and do the following two things:
1. Limiting the maximum merits which each post can receive from one user.
2. Limiting the maximum merits which each user can send to another per day.

Those two will help us to control spammers, cheaters a little bit better. They can buy/ sell/ exchange hundreds of merits daily to only one user.

In addition, I think the system should be adjusted to give users, paricularly lower-rank users, such as Junior Members like me, a period-gifted merits. The number of automatically allocated merits should be discussed more. For example, 1 merit per month. It's not much, but it will give new users motivation to join the forum. For newbies, new users, I guess it is a little bit hard for them to write such as meaningful, constructive, high-qualitied posts, right?

They should have another chance. It's simply my opinion.

The limitations on maximum merits donated per user per day sound good, and should be taken into consideration too.

I think merit system should operate that way. 1 merit per month per user almost means nothing for them; it simply gives them motivation to keep forward and contribute.

I am not sure that limiting how much merit you can give to a post is going to solve that abuse by itself. It might be a good idea, but it still doesn't stop someone from giving 5 merit each to 10 posts instead of 50 to 1. It has the same effect. Instead maybe limiting how much merit you can give to a certain person, or how much you can give in a single day, etc. would be more effective, though just negging people that are clearly abusing the system might already solve this before it becomes a problem.

Great! More people discused, more ideas come out. I think the author of the topic should update interesting ideas from others to his/her OP as a nutshell of topic's discussions.

Hate to say this - but you lot look like a bunch of farmed accounts.. all with a similar structure username, all with that silly altcoin under your avatar space and all span up within a month of each other.

I am no forensic guy, but it looks odd to me - maybe some others will comment about it.

Good eye. On the face of it someone would not notice that. They are all very similar.
In all seriousness tho if people are posting constructively then they should not have a problem with the merit system. I can see what op is saying with
1. for good quality post
2. for somewhat better than good quality post
3. for high-qualitied post.
4. for somewhat better than high-qualitied post.
5. for extremely high-qualitied post.
Scale and yes it should work like that if you post good quality a merit and top merits where deserved.
