Currently it is hard enough. The difference between member and full member is already too much. As a new member you are definetly going to receive 1 merit maybe each 10 posts. Does that sounds right? For a full member, 1000 posts sounds like too much.

It should be also a system where the merit can be airdroped to users that are constantly active and they posts have nothing to do with plagyarism. Simply reward content creators that are on topic.

I would add as rule minimum characters in order to get merit, let's say 40/50. I saw so many one liners where people get rewarded.
