* - mainly in that certain subfora seem to be all but ignored by merit sources, despite having a higher than average signal-to-noise ratio; e.g. - altcoins\mining is not nearly as afflicted by sig-campaign shitposters as the other altcoins subfora (or even the bitcoin subfora, from what little I've observed), but few posts are receiving merit.
That's equally true of the Bitcoin mining section which is disappointing as mining an area that people will get involved when they first get interested in Bitcoin and crypto. It really needs someone from those areas to step forward and apply to become a Merit source.
