I'd probably recommend an increase of more than just 1 merit (due to abusers as mentioned above), but I'm glad to see at least further requirements of merit for levelling up.
If users aren't willing to even try and get 1 merit point, they shouldn't be on this forum.
Glad to hear Theymos, hopefully this does something to help w/ spam. Thanks!
This. I feel like by simply raising this limit to 3 your going to make it immensely more difficult on the spam for cash poster. Hell even the worst of the worst poster can get lucky with a single post and a generous merit giver. They may try post after post trying to get that 1 merit. Needing 1 gives you hope. Needing 3 gives you butt hurt. I really hope the leadership will consider this.
