Bad:
-If you're an account farmer with many account Full Member and higher level you can just boost your farm to a higher and higher and higher level. When everybody is just 'fighting' for a higher level of an account or in straight words they're staying on the same level even with activity requirement meet.
-If you're in a group of people that have got accounts Full Member and higher you can just help each other by giving out merit to each other.
-What I noticed is that people want to give merits accounts with a higher rank more that that with lower. That cutting the wings especially for new ones here on the forum. And why I understand people psychology, sorry but I can't understand when you see informative posts and only giving merits to that with higher ranks.

Some members are trying to report such abuse cases but I see that these days the action on such profiles is delayed. Also , one cannot be sure with merit abuse cases involving small number of merits. There should be strict monitoring for this for some days and action should be taken on time. This will set an example for other members so that they do not dare to repeat the same act.

I underlined the word "trying" because those people that tried to report account farmers are those who have influential and veteran in the forum. But in overall, account farming is just ignore by newbies in the forum.
For the OP:
Expect that regulations are imperfect. Regulations can bring a positive and negative effects in anyone. Sometimes, people make it is an advantage to be powerful and brings unequality.
Your viewpoint for merit system is good but I do not think that posting a lengthy one can be a quality post. In my opinion, there are simple and short posts made by users here that are sharp and directed on what they talked about.
What about decreasing of merit points in order to rank up? And adding up the required numbers in activity. Just like this:
Rank Activity Merit
Jr. Member 50 0
Member 100 10
Full member 200 50
Sr. Member 400 100
Hero Member 800 250
Legendary 1000+ 500

This is just my opinion, I don't hate merit system but it seems many Jr. Members are stuck up in their rank. And I think, it will be better if some threads here will not be counted as an activity specially, bounty. Spammers can find in bounty threads.
