Browsing through the forum, I come across quite a number of quality posts in mega threads which goes unnoticed, and unmerited.
Could we have more presence on merit sources in those boards and threads which are just recovering from the spam attack of Tue past few months. This would encourage posters on those boards and lead to a general cleansing, and also quality posters would be rewarded, regardless where they post.

Well that's just the reality of the situation. There might be some good posts in those sorts of threads, but not every good or great post is going to get merited (especially when it's subjective). I make plenty of good posts that don't receive any merit at all but that's just how the cookie crumbles. I get plenty of merit for other posts as will any other poster, and good or great posters should probably have no trouble in ranking up quite fast, but the merit system is more to stop the worst of the worst of posters from getting anywhere and it's fairly successful in that. If you come here and post pure nonsense or just collect bounties constantly then you will get nowhere and be a permanent Newbie and that's a good thing. If you want to move up rank then you're going to have to start making worthwhile contributions but if some of your posts don't get merited then is it really such a big deal? Just keep making quality contributions and if you're a good poster then you'll get them for other posts eventually so just keep posting and the merit will come.
