actmyname, I will take your wager—but only on double-down terms:  Twice whatever you give others, if you think my last 20 posts are overall meritorious—or a red tag from you, if you don’t.
I will reject your wager for a few reasons.

First and foremost, my terms are strict in that if someone has even one low-quality post in the twenty that come before posting on this thread, they will not get the merit. Period.

Moreover, this makes your wager pointless because users should not be rated based on a singular (or a few posts) that do not have sufficient quality. Most people I know that are known for their posts will sometimes shitpost.

The negative feedback would thus have no weight, lest we create an equivalence to it with scummy activity. And in that regard, it's not really a good association to have.
It feels like the only way to get a wager that you might think is impactful is with betting something monetary or sentimental, like your name. Though in the former case, it would have to go to a charity or some third-party member because you will have bias otherwise.


Also just as a final note, you have a lot of merit anyway. I don't think that double the reward should be spent on you Wink

However, if you want to confine to the original terms that I have, then we can see.
