Since you also mentioned my thread, I can comment on it.

Although I'm not a merit source (I'm not an old enough member here to be one), what I'm trying to do is bring more visibility to the people posting especially in the altcoin sections. These sections are very low in merit sources.

Another reason is that I want to put my merits (I have just a few of them) to better use and select the most appropriate posts that would deserve merits.

What's wrong with that?
