I get the point for your thread and commend you for the effort to pin the different aspects of this system to the SWOT analysis model/tool. It took some effort and time to pair the different aspects of the merit system into the different categories of this tool.
I hope someone can glance at this analysis and improve on the WEAKNESSES and THREATS of this system. Thank you for the time and effort, I will give you +1 sMerit for your positive contribution. Most people only criticize this system, but you highlighted both the positive and the negative aspects of it.

I get the point, but I do dislike too much this attitude from the user:
I have the same sentiments with you.
The intention of merit is to prevent spammers and encourage us to make quality posts. However, what is happening now is instead of making posts to share your knowledge and learn from one another, the forum community is now posting for the sake of earning merits (especially the low rank members like me).
This is the link of my first thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4468266.msg40069856#msg40069856
Moved the above thread twice (from altcoin discussion to service discussion (altcoins) to beginners and help). I moved it because I noticed that the merit distribution on the altcoin discussion threads are fewer compare to other threads.

He/she is moving and moving the created threads in a search for merits and encouraging others to do the same... at the end of the day all the user is seeking is to earn merits. I don't know why I just don't feel it appropriate. Also, encouraging the people to move their threads from one to another board just for gaining merits, is kind of annoying. That's why I didn't merit the user, the threads are not awesome and even this one has been moved in the user's will of gaining more and more merits by doing so.
