Which is why he should not only be a merit source,but a staff member.
It doesn't work that way, nearly no one who "wants" to become a mod becomes one on BCTtalk or we'd have either Lutpin or shorena be one(who are at the top for making the most reports AFAIK).
As much as I appreciate shorena's contributions to the forum, he hasn't posted between October 29, 2017 and January 19, 2018.

As for becoming a merit source, I believe this is way too early to ask to be one
You clearly haven't been following the Merit-thing, as my quote in the OP shows: theymos literally asked for people to open a thread in Meta if they want to be Merit sources.Quote
secondly your examples aren't that noteworthy
I could have cherry-picked 10 exceptional posts, but (as explained in the OP) I did my normal way instead. In my opinion that makes more sense to spread Merit on posts that deserve it.Quote
you'd have to get at least the approval from some merit sources
That's not required.Quote
Well theymos rarely replies or reacts when you just make a thread, might as well send a PM with a link to this thread, don't expect a reply though.
Theymos has seen the "Unofficial merit source application thread":[/center]
I'm in that table now, several others are, so I just keep bumping this thread until I hear from theymos. No need to PM him on this.

P.S: I have the 36 sMerits things, does that mean I'm a merit source?
If you're a source, it will say so on the Merit-page.
