Well I'm someone who struggle to earn merit, but I think my post wasn't that bad, it just I'm not a part of circle.
If the forum really implement this, probably my rank would stuck at Full Member.
I prefer with demerit idea.
If a participant spamming, it's the manager should be the one who make decision to extend or remove him.
Didn't the solution of spamming is report the post to moderator? and then if the moderator didn't delete the post, the post isn't spam/meet the forum's standard?

Basically, I'm thinking of accounts like mich (that account has only managed to earn 36 merits over thousands of posts, but it has the rank of "Legendary" and wears a paid signature).
I don't agree if this as one of your reason to propose this idea.If a participant spamming, it's the manager should be the one who make decision to extend or remove him.
