Merit isn't my main reason for being here, so I'm only reading boards I value.

I was just poking fun. I doubt merit is anyone's main reason for being here. There may be one amusingly obsessed individual, but outside of them I wouldn't place that label upon you or anyone else. There's no reason to start reading boards that are without value, and this would actually give your more credibility as a source. Not forcing yourself into a section, simply because it is deprived of merit seems to be a quality rather than a negative.

Theymos, muh man, you know LoyceV holds it down; why you frontin'? (as the kids say)

I do read different boards sometimes, but usually end up getting people band instead of meriting them.

Maybe that's the problem. Merit and Bans are like the Good cop, Bad cop routine and staff sees you more as a "Bad cop" kind of user. You've gotta show them you've got a gentle touch when the situation calls for it.

Theymos, making me wait is mean and cruel Tongue

He's turned the application process into a twisted tantric outlet for himself, so it seems. Shocked

If I assume allGlobal Moderators are also merit sources, then yes, it happens.

Is that a fair assumption to make? Would the evidence or the announcements support the idea that they are all merit sources? Also, outside of Global moderators or other DT members, are there any examples of those with a negative DT trust rating that are sources?
