Surely Soke deserves merit, right?
He has nearly 100 1-liner posts, and half of them have come into creation since the merit system was implemented.
I don't regret giving Soke a merit in an attempt to encourage him, but surely, the encouragement does not seemed to have created substantive or quality posts or even a "go getter" attitude out of him, which could be helpful to anyone who really is interested in attempting to attract the interest of other members to give them a merit... and yeah, we all know that merits can come from anyone, they do not have to come from merit sources... Maybe Soke will provide some evidence for his assertion?
On the other hand, probably I would be waiting for a long time before some kind of meaningful and substantively backed perspective actually comes from him?
I might be looking like this if I were to wait?
I get what you said. Sometimes our action doesnt meet to the purpose, like your encouragement to this man to be better in the future, but that is life, no?, lets hope he realizes it sooner.
No man, if we want to be detailed, even your skull will be gone if you are waiting people like this to give some evidence for his assertion.
