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.

This seems like a good idea, promo participants to focus on the quality instead of quantity, just to meet the quota. But this also makes it unfair since if the participant has a better merit circle, where he knows most of the people, he can easily get merited for some simple posts. We all know how the merit works in bitcointalk, it doesn't mean the absolute quality gets merited but also has other factors in. A guy talks on his local board, with some of his local friends, where both enjoy the contents of the others, and exchange merited to each other. This doesn't mean they are abusing the merit system. Because it stayed true to the spirit 'your post is worthy in my view so it can receive a token of goodwill'. So I think merit should be counted as a bonus only, not precedence the quote or posts per week.
