Maybe a solution for this issue would be to:
- select a few merit sources that are interested in these topics and regularly posts there for a better distribution of merits
- have something like a "Rank-o-Thon" (similar to Hackathon
) where a list of users would be selected and the merit sources would go to their posts and merit whatever they find good
What do you guys think?
I had made this tool indeed to respond to something similar: "knowing which people are more active distributing merits in a particular section of the forum" so ideal candidates to become merit sources:

In some cases is evident who could be appointed, hopefully somebody will have a look at the names showing up and consider if making them merit sources.
