If we only allowed third-party submissions, some members may never get their posts reported; self-reporting grants them that privilege. Self and third-party applications will be accepted, and a good third-party reporter will receive merits for each good report to encourage third-party reports.
The board should concentrate more on sending out organic merits to aid with circulation. Farm accounts will not receive merits from me.
I sincerely like the way the rules are strict out, I am add since the merit is less due to allocation given to you then there should be limitations of the number allowed to be reported at certain duration of time for each member, you cannot maybe report more than five of your post in a month. This will both reduce spamming the thread and also help spread the post out, then a penalty should be there for those who actually try to abuse the privilege, because I know there is no way we can actually stop famers from eating but you as a sheriff can be able to use some tricks to fish some out. The Merit should simply be in fairness.
While we at there I think it is time for the entire community to help too by going to those thread to also merit some posts they feel are quality, most especially our merit applicants this kind of gives theymos a reflection of how you will handle the merits when given the opportunity
