Since i see more disadvantages than advantages i'm giving up with this competition. We are not able to reach the goal without Theymos help. Thanks to

yazher[/b] for showing good will.
I see this topic changed from "competition" to very good quality report discussion. It's nice to see it.
I'll report spam posts within the last 7 days so spammers won't get paid for them
That's the best way. They don't care about already paid posts since there is no account nuke after N deleted posts.
If anyone does come up with an idea which would encourage others to report more without the drawbacks discussed then I can absolutely get behind the idea.
What if I buy a posting bot and create 10-15 accounts, then start spamming the local sections which have no moderator and use the main account to report the posts.
You can config the bot to directly report those spam posts created with the fake accounts.
Well that will for sure not be implemented into competition like that but we can have reporting points based on users rank. F.e.
5 points for each deleted spam post made by Legendary member
3 -//- hero member
2 -//- senior member
1 -//- full member
0 -//- member, junior, newbie
That way everyone willing to gain reporting points will hunt for high rank spammers. Which is good in my opinion.
And those reporting points could be exchanged for badges or merits. I know that merits was implemented to improve post quality by rewarding quality posts but helping in getting rid of spam posts also improve BTT discussion level.
Add 2 weeks cooldown for spamer if more than 10 post were deleted in one week period and we have all drawbacks of such system fixed.
