This would only mean that the forum was meant for signature campaign which is absolutely wrong
Besides its illegal for an individual to enter a bounty with multiple account if caught would be penalized so that case is solved.

But you cannot deny they are bringing problem and where you read that forum rules do not allow to take part in bounty with multiple account?
It is just frowned. Do you have any idea that how much effort is required to caught all these abuser and all this is a voluntary work.

And besides some individuals would focus on first getting the merits then after they must have gotten merit required to rise to there desired rank then then fall back to spamming just to match there activities to the rank.

Instead I will say if it takes 25 merit to Jr.Member then instead of going back to spamming in first one and try to achieve 25 in second one look stupids. It will be better for forum and user that user will try for next 25 Merit to become Member. In current situation many user are suspected that they purchased
1 merit.

I totally agree on this statement, it would be great if you suggest a better distribution of stakes for all ranks. I can apply it in some of my upcoming campings I guess.
Surely, the stakes are not maintained as per the difficulty of a level to reach as per merit requirements. And the same is applied by many bounties from a much long time.

I am not sure what are the exact challenges BM faces in this forum but I can suggest you have stake tier based on merit like this .

1 stake for Jr. member but 1.5 stake for Jr.Member with more than 5 merits.
2 stake for Member but 3 stake for Member who earned 10 Merits(means somebody become member by earning 10+ merit or user who was already member at merit system implementation now having 20+ merit will have more stakes than other members)

You can go on creating this chart for all ranks.
BPIP tool can help you to understand that how much merit a user has earned and how much merit was airdropped to user when you click on user profile and you will see the chart of merit of that user that explain current and merit received. Current Merit - Merit received will give you the value of airdropped merit.

Look like some users are taking in another sense when I am mentioning the word bounty. My whole intent for this post is to explain that current merit requirement still encourage alt account creation at Jr.Member/Member level for bounty farming.

The moment we change the rules to fit the bounty/airdrops/whatever we probably should simply close the shop.

Closing your eyes is also not going to help you. If you re allowing bounties here then you need to formulate rules for them too.

Actually, if one jmember is banned it requires only1 merit to rank up again with a new account. If we increase this level to 5 it will be harder to rank up abuse, buy/exchange merit and the spam will decrease.

On top of it, Some got that one merit for whining . If you see B&H closely, Every week somebody open a whining/how to get merit thread. Unfortunately they get successful too in getting that one merit.
