The big question is who will monitor the post? by the way do you know how many members we have in this forum? and How many post been made per day? your suggestion is no way near possible because mods won't have time to monitor post here. The best option is what the mods have taken so far by implementing a merit system, I believe they have thought about it for a long while before implementing it. And meriting a post is just for the merit source members, or high rank members, so I believe the more low rank members who receives merits; gives out their smerit to other members, then merit distribution in the forum will balance, it will take a while but it will balance.
