The abuse worsens when you're on DT or a higher ranked member who actively searches for scams across the forum. 

If they have bad intention and try to take advantages then yes it's worse but someday they will get caught for sure.
In my opinion earning a high rank or getting a DT needs a lot of hard work. Someone with those ranks will not try to abuse anything by risking their hard earned reputation. Again yes people change.

$5 per merit, you should donate $5 per sold merit to the forum. selling merits to garbage posters would cost the forum, you should cover that cost. if you are going to pay, try to buy a copper membership and send $250 to that address if you have sold 50 merits.
This link will take you there. note that forum is not asking you to do this, I am suggesting you to do this and then show your TXID to the person who has left you negative trust. show some remorse. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

That's not actually a bad idea in order to act as an incentive to stop users from trying to sell/buy merit. Get both members to do it, not just the seller.
- You do realise this will create more mess? Someone with money can be ranked easily.
 i.e:
1. You can be a Hero member if you are willing to spend $2500 to the seller plus $2500 to the forum. So it will cost only $5000 to have 500 merits to become a hero member. And someone who will spend $5000 to become a hero member will defiantly do everything to get return of his investment = scamming with may be ICO project?   
2. Same way to become a Legendary member you are going to spend only $10,000. If you have solid plan to scam people then spending these $10,000 can return you million.

-Now come to anther point. How would you think you will be able to identify all these merit seller/buyers? The forum will be a kios.
Bad idea, sorry.
