So, the idea would be for each user to have a "millimerit" balance (either hidden from view, or maybe visible next to the existing report accuracy numbers). Moderators could then award members with say 25 millimerits for any good report and -100 for any bad report.
The idea to appreciate good reports with millimerits sounds okay although I'm not sure if this is an effective way to encourage people's awareness. I am a bit worried that there are some people who are inspired to report posts excessively. It may trigger an uncomfortable atmosphere between us if some people target to report as many as possible in a month, to get 25 millimerits. At the end of the day, we may have an increase in the number (quantity) of reports but probably to decrease in the quality of reports.

Anyway, why bad reports should get -100?
It is like you don't respect people who try to give positive contributions to the forum.
If they don't make good reports, why don't just ignore the reports and no millimerits?  Huh
