I don't merit boards, I merit good posters.
This really wasn't necessary 
As has been mentioned many times, awarding merits for reportung posts and bad behaviour is open to abuse, and should not be encouraged.
This is first time I have heard about this, where was it mentioned many times? Someone spend hours to expose scam, create constructive and interesting post in scam accusation which will probably help many investors and newcomers without enough knowledge and detective skills to save money, how is that not worth of merit?
