I otherwise think bonuses for most merited participants would be an interesting dynamic, rather than those who max out the campaign getting paid the most, in order to encourage quality of posting not just quantity.
Relying on most merited alone can get boring and sometimes unfair.
That's not what I was suggesting. I was suggesting a
bonus for most merited participants. This could be a user who only posted 10-20 times in a week, and even with a bonus would be rewarded less than a participant who made 50 posts per week. So it wouldn't be relying on most merited to be rewarded the most what so ever, it would be equally rewarding quality not just quantity.
