If I get your suggestion correctly, you mean ranking up based on number of posts. So basically, you want ranking up based on activity only just as it was before the merit system. I do not think that is ever going to happen. Admin did ask for suggestions to control the spam on the forum and then introduced this merit system here. So, you want all those suggestions and his hard work to go in vain now.

In my opinion, it has encouraged new members to post good content. But we need more restrictions for guys spamming this forum as they are still doing the same.
