Isn't it demeaning for a newbie to try to earn one single merit for reporting a mammoth/gigantic 500 posts, I'll rather stay on the forum without merits,and read,learn and report spam posts without really witch hunting for them..

Removing merits from spammers is impossible,there is currently no Demerits system in place in the forum,though @Loycev has made a thread proposing it, but it's yet to be approved..
So no matter what a user does,his/her merit remains with'em, even if they get banned...

I can't really see the advantage of this suggestion,as we'll simply be getting tons of bad reports from noobs who find it hard to earn one elusive merit the "right" way

Reporting spam posts is simply ones own voluntary way of contributing/giving back to the forum

Reporting 500,000 to enable potential legendary sounds like a strange and hard to remember number. I would suggest keeping things simple and making it 1M.

If you want to get Merits fast, write useful posts. That's what Merit was meant for in the first place.

If you are not able to do so but are not a spammer either, get your hands dirty and help us clean up this mess. So yes, I think 500 per Merit really is an acceptable amount. It's that, or writing useful posts, or nothing. Can't complain about an additional way of earning some Merits, right?

(But hey, we could test it and see if lower amounts give better results)
