I'll add OP when I'm back at my desk.
0.05 Merit per post is far too steep as a requirement.
Spammers won't even reach a fraction of that, and spammers are the only ones who should be stopped by merit requirements.
Well put it at 0.005 then. ANYONE can reach that ratio if there is just a slight beginning of correct English.
That's 1 merit every 200 posts.
Can anyone point at someone making decent posts not getting that?
