I'd prefer a simpler solution such as this one, as it is less likely to create unintended consequences such as the mentioned deranking of valuable members in boards where merit distribution is limited. Further, local merit abusers such as the ones that helped this guy rank up would bypass this unintended consequencemerit distribution limitations easily.

Spammers already can't rank up so easy because they'll hardly get merit for their shit-posts.

Ah but they often have "friends" that give them merits for their shitposts, enough to rank up, anyway.

I mentioned the example above in another thread already. They have friends and merit sources on board, the ones that are connected have no issue getting merits to rank up new accounts.

That said, I'd take any solution over none. Now you gotta convince the boss man, but good topic nevertheless.
