Maybe I still didn't understand the reward system you suggest, so please provide a precise example.
I am thinking that is what he is suggesting.
Then the whole idea should be better presented and explained, so that the admins could seriously consider it.
The merit system is obviously perfect enough for what KingsDen is explaining I think. Only quality posts are merited while active members will be merited more than less active members while non active members will not be merited (just implying how quality posters can receive merit in relation to how active they are).
---snipped---
Let us take for example, check you merit history, also check a member that is not as active as you merit history, also check a member that is not active at all merit history. You will see differences. I always make this comment, I knew no one when I started on this forum in 2020, but check my merit history now. The merit can be somehow partial that some people not posting than you are given more merit, but yet those people are perfectly active with good quality posts, also you being active will result to many other members meriting your posts. And just take it like this, you in particular, the more active you are, the more the merit, I say this because I know you are active with quality posts, and the more you know. So, this seem more like what you are explaining.
But, If you think there should be bonuses for more active members, don't you think people will abuse it?
