I have seen posts here of some of the non-native English speakers talking about how the new rules are hard on them.  I agree somewhat so I started thinking about ways they can contribute without the need of long elaborate posts.  I assume some of our members have different levels of education so I have a soft spot for the guy attempting to climb up the ranks but does not have the required skills or knowledge to contribute at this moment.

What if we have a 2 for 1 system where if a newbie can ferret out a multiple account scammer with screenshots and links with definitive undeniable proof they will receive 1 merit for the work.  We will be losing scammers at a rate of 2 to 1 with this type of merit scheme at worst case.  Worst case we replace 2 scam accounts with a single scam account.  If we get a good guy then the gain is huge as we eliminate 2 scam accounts and gain a valuable forum member.   In addition to this we will be training the next generation of forum members to be on the lookout for scammers.  Also the scammers will no doubt eventually turn on each other.  That's when the fun and satisfaction really happens!  I feel like if we add a few more layers of hell for the scammers they will eventually fade away.  It's barely cost effective to do bounty work at this time anyways.  By the temper tantrums you see you know the new system is hurting them.  I feel like there are more ways to turn the heat up on them while at the same time rewarding newbies coming up the ranks.  This place is brutal on newbies.  Maybe rightful so but we may also be mowing down and stifling potential good guys by accident. 

If the newbie tries a false accusation or does not provide rock hard evidence he gets the boot and gets to start over.

Some key spots where this system could be utilized and effective is patrolling Twitter and Facebook unique post links in the bounty section  You will eliminate massive amounts of people right there as the abuse is rampant and the fraud goes unveiled as they figure no one will click the link.  I will see a run of the exact same tweet done by 10 separate accounts.
