I do not think he will increase the rate soon, let alone increase it to very high rate. If we see in MMK, he brags about how his forum can get many members within short time. But if we see the ratio between the number of threads and the number of posts, we will see that the forum is not really growing.

If he insisted on not giving credits for making posts in our threads, the members will just crowd the existing threads. It can make the forum stops growing and even can lead to spam. Even normal members (members who really want to make good posts) can eventually make spam posts because there are no other things to talk about.
