Can you open your topic with the distribution of merit? Something like The Pharmacist Merit Giveaway. And there users will drop posts to your best links or something like that.
I thought about doing that recently, and perhaps I should. I haven't seen a merit giveaway thread in a long, long time, and the last one was by actmyname if I'm not mistaken. The only issue I have is that the members who post in them don't read the requirements, don't understand that I wouldn't just be giving merit away for shitposts, and that if I created such a thread it would just die off like the other ones have. I suppose I could keep bumping it, but I think I've made the offer enough times that anyone who thinks their posts would hold up to my standards would have PMed me by now.
But I'll consider it.
