Is it just me or has handing out Merit become a lot less common place now? I rarely see anybody handing it out now, certainly a lot less than a couple of months ago.
As a Merit Source (I dont care if people know) I like to look around for good posts & tend to hand out at least 2 a day.
Do we, as a community, need to do more to reward high quality posts, should we be more actively looking to hand out Merit?
I guess when the system was first implemented those who werent Merit Sources had more sMerit & naturally would be more likely to hand it out. Its been a while now though & lots of posters may simply have run out.
There has definitely been a big drop in the amount of posts I see Merited though.
If you still have sMerit do your bit, actively look to reward good posters.
I find the reason being that most of the profiles which were initially provided base merits are out of smerits by giving it to other people, later on since they themselves have not received any new merits, they are unable to give smerits to other profiles as well. Forum is mostly dependable on Merit Sources to receive merits now.Agree with the bolded, I think I had something like 200-300 base meeits to begin with. I now only have around 5 left plus my source merit which Im currently only able to hand out a handful per day.
I'm just curious is there any new merits being generated by the mods or it's all available and in the hands of users?
Would be good if everybody received an airdrop of sMerit, yes.
