I think that was a good decision for some high ranking member to show compassion to those who really deserve to acquire even for 1 merit. <>

Compassion should not be part of the equation. Merit is not awarded on a compassion basis, but rather on the posts content and, increasingly so (and even more now days), the posters posting history track. The main problem may reside in finding those to merit, and not being put-off in the process by those other posts that make your eyes sour. That is probably the main challenge of the non-merited with decent posts on their back: being spotted among all the large amount of non-contributive posts.
