By adding report rewards, you're only acting upon the latter. Plus, you'll probably see a lot of spam reports – if users are scrambling to get merit now through strange ways, then surely they won't care about doing bad reports as long as they can get some good reports through (which result in merit)?

It's maybe good in one way but just imagine all the shitposters hungry for merit what they can do if such change is accepted? Creating shit-threads only to report them accumulating merit. There are many ways to abuse system like this and you are not the first to suggest it. It has been discussed before, just search the forum Smiley
Well, if you guys put it that way made me realize all the worst possible outcomes that can go along with it if report rewards will be implemented. I apologize for that suggestion, I did not put too much about it earlier. Grin Thinking about it now, it is good as it is now because members who report useless posts on their own volition is much better because posts that are being reported with that initiative are ones that should be really deleted in the forum.
