As everything PowerGlove does, this is a very thoughtful approach to introducing a possible improvement to the forum. I don't think encouraging a user to earn 1 merit for every 10 posts is too much to ask.
Not too much task for you because you are earning merit almost everyday, but why not think of other people? If it can be 100 posts and not 10 posts, that will be better. But yet I still see no use of this because this forum is good how it is now with the merit system. We do not need to be stricter. Many newbies will suffer from this while those people that are old on this forum will know where they will meet and discuss about merit and send themselves merit regardless of their post quality. Even this has not be done, it is happening. Psychologically...
