I am very sorry to hear how things are working inside German board. For sure, the situation does not look good. The mod from that section should act with a strong hand against spam --
Defining what posts qualify as spam is not something you can easily do, people have different perspectives. Also, the moderator might be looking for more posts no matter what the quality is, you know, just a way of "showing" that they have a huge community and he is needed, not saying the German mod is doing that, I am generally speaking.

or, in case the workload is too much for him, perhaps he can ask for some help...?
Perhaps the German board could use someone like 1miau, pretty heavy-handed I suppose.
Fishing for merit for the sake of financial gain is normal human nature, all boards including the English-speaking ones have the same thing in common, I see nothing wrong with it, the reason why someone wants more merit doesn't matter, as long as they are doing it the right way by posting quality posts they are worthy of merit.

I think that a very important aspect is the fact that other people are also seeing a big problem in altering mother languages with English. Perhaps such people are everywhere in the world, talking about best ways to preserve their languages
One issue we face in the Arabic board is the exact definition of the technical words related to blockchain, we have a whole dedicated topic for that, the problem is, Arabic is rather complicated, in my country most people pass their English tests but fail Arabic tests, the blockchain tech as a whole is not so popular yet, so not enough qualified people have looked into it, to translate the technical terms you need someone who understands what it really means, and that someone needs to have excellent language skills.
We are slowly progressing into finding the right terms, but it will take some time, for now, if the translation sounds weird we all just stick to using the English version of the word.
